India has significantly bolstered its military presence along the Siliguri Corridor by establishing new bases at Lachit Borphukan Military Station in Assam, Kishanganj in Bihar, and Chopra in West Bengal, equipped with rapid deployment forces and advanced surveillance capabilities. This strategic enhancement comes in response to geopolitical shifts following the rise of an interim government in Bangladesh that leans towards China and Pakistan, alongside Bangladesh’s plans to acquire Chinese fighter jets. The fortified corridor, vital for connecting over 45 million people in Northeast India, now features advanced systems including Rafale fighters and BrahMos missiles, reflecting India’s proactive defense strategy aimed at ensuring national integrity against emerging threats. The operational readiness of the Tri-Shakti Corps underscores India’s commitment to safeguarding this crucial chokepoint amidst evolving regional dynamics.
