GANGTOK, : Lok Sabha MP Indra Hang Subba on Wednesday called on Defence MoS
Sanjay Seth at his office in New Delhi regarding roads leading to the border
areas of North Sikkim.
During
the meeting, the LokSabha MP urged the Defence ministry and the BRO to
reinforce road connectivity in North Sikkim, particularly NH 310A and border roads,
ahead of the monsoon.
While
appreciating their efforts in reopening roads after the Teesta floods of
October 2023, Indra Hang raised concerns that heavy rains and landslides this
monsoon may once again render them impassable.

stabilization, improved drainage, and stronger road materials, to ensure
uninterrupted connectivity for civilians and security forces in this strategic
region, a press release mentions.
