Another rockslide occurred on the National Highway-29 between Chathe River Bridge (Patkai Bridge) and Kukidolong stretch affecting vehicular movements on October 10.
The slide occurred at the now-damaged Nagaland 'Welcome Gate' late Saturday afternoon between 4-5 PM. The 'Welcome Gate' to the hill section of Nagaland was earlier damaged by a rockslide.
Excavators were seen clearing the debris and a one-way traffic was restored later. However, vehicles were seen moving at a snail pace, as long lines of vehicles were stranded on both side of the highway.
Currently in the midst of a width expansion for the four-lanning of NH 29 Dimapur-Kohima sector, rockslides have been regularly occurring between the Chathe River Bridge (Patkai Bridge) and Kukidolong stretch.
