DIMAPUR — National Highway-2 near Tsiesema Basa has been closed to vehicular movement due to unsafe conditions.

According to a DIPR report, Deputy Commissioner (DC) Kohima, B Henok Buchem, issued a traffic advisory following a landslide on National Highway-2 at Chainage KM 12.900, which has resulted in the complete blockage of the highway.

It was stated that in the meantime, the road from High Court Junction, Meriema – Nagaland University Campus – Tsiesema Basa, near 5 Sector Assam Rifles/Koinonia Prayer Centre Junction, has been designated as the alternative route for light motor vehicles.

Due to the narrow passage along this alternative route, traffic for heavy vehicles, including those bound for Manipur and Dimapur, will be regulated by the traffic police after assessing the condition of the road.
