Haha, awaiting you comments until you visit UP & terrifying DL. I'm not stereotyping here; I've witnessed accidents that occurred from 1 min to 1 hour to 1 day to 1 week to 1 month & even a year ago right on GQ in UP stretches all through the day.

The road from Kolkata to Siliguri was still under construction when I drove through last year ('19). Siliguri to Guwahati is good once you cross the coronation bridge - avoid Siliguri traffic by leaving early!
