Phesama Sinking Zone on NH-2 Reopens for Limited One-Way Traffic
The Phesama sinking zone on National Highway-2 along the Kohima-Mao section has partially reopened for one-way traffic between Km 191.840 and Km 192.100. Light motor vehicles, school buses, and ambulances can travel southbound during 7 am to 10 am and 3 pm to 5 pm, with students in uniform and ambulances allowed both directions. The stretch remains closed outside these hours for restoration. Heavy vehicles face continued restrictions, and Kohima-bound traffic must use alternative routes. NHIDCL and contractors are working daily to expedite repairs.
