Traffic diversion on Khubokita-Asukhuto road from Nov 9
The Story in Brief
The Nagaland administration has advised vehicles on the Naghuto-Khubokita route to take a diversion from 9 November to 20 December 2026, citing ongoing road construction.
Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Atoizu Nukutul S Venuh said frequent vehicular movement along the Doyang-Asukhuto road was causing delays and hampering work. He also warned of the risk of casualties from falling rocks and mudslides along the excavation between Khubokita and Asukhuto.
Vehicles have been advised to use the alternative route from Naghuto to Khubokita via Lhocheki, and vice versa, during the period. The ADC urged all concerned to comply with the advisory.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The advisory covers nearly six weeks of construction, during which the only alternative route runs through Lhocheki, a likely longer or less-developed stretch. The warning about falling rocks and mudslides suggests the excavation is in difficult terrain, and the ADC’s mention of casualty risk indicates that safety, not just convenience, drove the decision. Compliance is voluntary for now, but the order leaves no stated penalty or enforcement mechanism.
Vehicles must follow the Lhocheki detour from 9 November.
