KOHIMA, JULY 2 (DIPR): Due to incessant rain, land slide have occurred at various locations along NH-39 between Dimapur to Kohima. With the onset of monsoon, it is anticipated that bigger slides may occur along this road. The Border Roads Organisation has been working tirelessly to clear the slides as and when they occur. It has been observed that huge traffic snarls are created due to inability of loaded trucks to negotiate the bad portions therefore all transporters are informed not to ply trucks weighing above 10 tons along this road till the situation improves. Nagaland Police will not allow heavy vehicles weighing more than 10 tons to come up from Dimapur to Kohima. This was stated in a press communiqué issued by Commissioner & Secretary Works & Housing Department, Temjen Toy. In this regard, Nagaland Chief Secretary, Lalthara has also written to his counter part, Manipur Chief Secretary, D.S. Poonia, IAS informing him about the situation and requested him to instruct all Manipur bound trucks to restrict the weight of loaded trucks to below 10 tons as it is reported that mostly Manipur bound trucks are unable to negotiate the landslide location due to over loading.
