Bangladesh-China Plot / BAN-China's eye on Chicken Neck! Considering India weak will prove costly

Bangladesh-China Plot: The investment offer made by the head of the interim government of Bangladesh, Mohammad Yunus, to China can become a new strategic challenge for India. Especially when the northeastern states have been mentioned in his statement. This indicates that Bangladesh, along with China, is planning to put India's 'Chicken Neck' region under strategic pressure. This corridor is the only route connecting northeastern India to the rest of the country, and any instability in this region can prove to be a major threat to India's security.

Strategic importance for India

The Siliguri Corridor, called the "Chicken Neck", is a landmass only 22 kilometers wide, which connects the northeastern states to the rest of India. It is located in West Bengal and is surrounded by the borders of Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and China. For India, this area is not just a geographically narrow corridor, but an extremely sensitive security area. This is why the Indian Army has constantly strengthened security measures in this area.

Fears of China-Bangladesh alliance

Given Yunus's inclination towards China and China's aggressive policies, there is a fear that this alliance may be a well-planned conspiracy against India. China is already investing heavily in Bangladesh under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and is strengthening its foothold there. This strategy of China can be a link to surround India.

Indian Army's preparations

• The Indian Army and Air Force have taken several important security measures in the region.
• Deployment of Trishakti Corps: The 33 Corps of the Indian Army, called the Trishakti Corps, is handling the responsibility of protecting the Siliguri Corridor.
• Air Security: Rafale fighter jets have been deployed at Hasimara Airbase.
• Brahmos Missile Regiment: The deployment of Brahmos missiles in the region further strengthens India's security structure.
• S-400 and Akash Air Defense System: India has deployed S-400 and Akash missile defense systems to strengthen the air security of the region.

India's tough strategy

• The Indian Defense Ministry has made it clear that India is fully prepared to face any kind of challenge.
• Recently the Indian Army has conducted war exercises in this area.
• Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan visited the area and reviewed the operational preparations.
