Gangtok: On June13, huge boulders from a hill next to the traffic point at Amdo Golai came tumbling down on the bypass and blocking traffic along the route which was generally used by Siliguri-bound vehicles .
Today on July19 almost after45 days of work ,traffic along the Amdo Golai road was restored for light vehicles and a sigh of relief can be experienced from the faces of area residents, especially students and business community of Amdo Golai who were faced with loss of business due to road closure. The traffic could only be restored after special grade explosive were used to fragment the huge rocks without causing vibratory damages that often results from use of general explosive used in road-making by GREF /Border Road Organisation.
Heavy duty Vehicles and Trucks are still banned from the Amdo Golai Traffic Point till further order as per information received.
