Traffic movement along the entire stretch of NH55, the principal highway that connects Siliguri with Darjeeling through Kurseong, was restored after five days.

The movement of vehicles along the entire stretch of NH10, the highway that connects Sikkim and Kalimpong with Siliguri and the rest of the country, however, will resume in another four-five days, said sources in the state PWD.

Road restoration work at Birick Dara, located along NH10 under Kalimpong district and around 30km from here, continued for the fifth day on Monday.

The progress of restoration work has also made the tourism industry hopeful.
