Landslide blocks Mangan-Gangtok Highway, again

MANGAN, 26 Sept:  The Mangan-Gangtok highway which had been restored recently after landslides caused by the 18 September earthquake had blocked it. This route was blocked again yesterday by a landslip at Phodong, around 30 km from Mangan towards Gangtok. Around 50 feet of the road has been swamped by boulders and debris. As for the reopening of this road, no projections can be made because till this evening, no restoration work had begun.
