Over 600 trucks stranded on NH-306 due to poor road conditions in Mizoram

Aizawl: More than 600 trucks carrying essential commodities remain stranded on National Highway 306/6, particularly along the Sairang–Kawnpui stretch in Mizoram, due to its severely deteriorated condition, a government official confirmed on Sunday.

National Highway 306, a vital route also known in parts as NH-6, serves as Mizoram's main connection to the rest of India via Silchar in Assam.

The Sairang-Kawnpui section, which underwent repairs between July and August, has once again fallen into disrepair, making it nearly impassable for heavy vehicles transporting critical supplies.

As of Sunday morning, the official reported that 339 trucks carrying goods to Aizawl were stranded at Kawnpui, while 264 empty trucks bound for Assam were stuck at Khamrang.

He also noted that authorities released over 500 Assam-bound trucks from between Sairang and Khamrang on Saturday after assessing the road conditions.
