India Increases Security at ‘Chicken Neck’ Corridor Near Bangladesh Border

India has heightened security at the strategically significant ‘Chicken Neck’ corridor following recent geopolitical developments, including remarks by its chief advisor on the Seven Sisters region and Bangladesh’s request for investment from China. Indian media outlet India Today reported the development on Friday (April 4).

According to India Today, concerns arose in India after Chief Advisor Dr. Muhammad Yunus’s visit to China. The ‘Chicken Neck’ corridor, officially known as the Siliguri Corridor, is a narrow stretch of land in West Bengal. Its geographical shape resembles a chicken’s neck, which is why it is commonly referred to as such. This corridor is crucial for India as it connects the country’s mainland with the northeastern states, known as the Seven Sisters. The region also shares borders with Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and China.

Following recent geopolitical shifts, India has bolstered security in the area, deploying additional military personnel. The Indian Army considers the corridor its most fortified defense line, claiming it has the capability to counter any potential threats. The security of this corridor is overseen by the Trishakti Corps, headquartered in Sukna. The corps is equipped with modern weaponry, including Rafale fighter jets, BrahMos missiles, and advanced air defense systems.

India’s Army Chief recently stated that the ‘Chicken Neck’ is one of the country’s most critical military zones, where troops from West Bengal, Sikkim, and the northeastern region can be rapidly mobilized.
