In a bid to accelerate Sikkim’s road connectivity, Shri N.B. Dahal, Minister for Roads and Bridges, met Dr. Krishan Kumar, Managing Director of NHIDCL, in the national capital today. Acting under the guidance of Chief Minister Shri Prem Singh Tamang, the Minister emphasized the urgent need for highway expansion and repair works critical to the state’s transport network.
Key discussions focused on the alternative highway from Melli to Singtam, a project already sanctioned by the Government of India, as well as the long-pending maintenance of the NH-10 stretch between Coronation Bridge and Rangpo, which serves as Sikkim’s vital lifeline.
Dahal also highlighted concerns regarding the Legship–Gyalshing alternative highway in West Sikkim, pointing out that a section of the road passes close to the Mahatma Sirijunga premises, requiring sensitive planning and execution.
The meeting signals Sikkim’s proactive approach to resolving connectivity challenges and ensuring smoother travel routes for both commuters and goods movement in the Himalayan state.
