Amit Shah reviews Siliguri Corridor security, pushes for ‘triangular grid’
Union Home Minister Amit Shah reviewed security along the strategically vital Siliguri Corridor (Chicken's Neck) and announced a 'triangular grid' comprising three new military garrisons at Dhubri (Assam), Kishanganj (Bihar), and Chopra (West Bengal). This move aims to strengthen defence infrastructure and rapid deployment capabilities in the narrow corridor connecting Northeast India with the mainland. The initiative reflects heightened focus on border security amid China's infrastructure buildup across the LAC. For competitive exams, this development is significant for internal security, defence preparedness, and Northeast connectivity topics.
