New Delhi, May 31 -- The Sikkim government has lifted the odd-even vehicle movement restrictions across all districts of the state, with the exception of Gangtok, effective immediately.

In a notification issued on Sunday, the Home Department said the decision followed a review of the fuel situation, which found that sufficient buffer stocks of Motor Spirit (petrol) and High-Speed Diesel (diesel) had been built up to meet the state's current demand.

As a result, private vehicles will now be allowed to operate without the odd-even curbs in all districts except the state capital.
