Water logging on Shillong Road near Lumshnong causes Meghalaya Police to divert traffic in the area

Heavy rainfall in the past 24 hours has resulted in water logging at a section of NH06 near Star Cement Lumshnong, disrupting the smooth flow of traffic. The East Jaintia Hills Police has issued a traffic advisory urging commuters to avoid traveling through this portion of the highway unless absolutely necessary.

The continuous downpour has led to water accumulation on the road, making it difficult for vehicles to pass through safely. In order to mitigate the situation, authorities have implemented a diversion plan for light vehicles. Commuters traveling in small vehicles are being rerouted through internal roads to ensure their safety and prevent any potential accidents or damage to their vehicles.

The decision to divert light vehicles through alternative routes has been taken in the interest of public safety, as the water logging poses risks to motorists.

Commuters planning to travel along NH06 in the affected area are strongly advised to avoid doing so unless it is absolutely necessary. It is recommended to check local news updates and traffic advisories before embarking on any journey to stay informed about the latest developments and alternative routes.

Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and working towards resolving the water logging issue on NH06 near Star Cement Lumshnong. As soon as the water levels recede and the road is deemed safe for travel, the diversion will be lifted, allowing vehicles to resume normal movement on the highway.

In the meantime, commuters are requested to cooperate with the traffic management authorities and follow the instructions provided by the police personnel deployed in the area. Safety should be the utmost priority during such challenging weather conditions, and drivers are advised to exercise caution while navigating through any flooded or waterlogged areas.
