SINGTAM, 22 July: Traffic along the Singtam-Gangtok highway came to a standstill for over three hours after two mud-slips blocked the road near 32 No. this evening.
Both the slides were at spots [near 32 No.] where GREF is carrying out its back-cutting works to expand the road.
The slips are informed to have occurred at around 5 p.m. this evening after continuous heavy rains lashed the area. The slides disrupted traffic throughout the evening and only one-way vehicular movement was made possible after GREF cleared the debris and Sikkim Police personnel directed the traffic.
