INDIA’S VULNERABLE ‘CHICKEN’S NECK’

SILIGURI CORRIDOR

Siliguri Corridor, also known as India’s ‘Chicken's Neck’, is 200 km long and 60 km wide.

It is a vulnerable artery in India’s geography and is only medium to connect 7 North-Eastern states to rest of India.

The troubled North-East region of India has many political issues from within including SEPARATIST MOVEMENTS.

This region comprises of Assam, Nagaland, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Tripura and Sikkim – a region surrounded Bhutan, Myanmar, Bangladesh and China.

If Siliguri Corridor is captured by China, it can geographically isolate those states from mainland.

All major trade and supply (both civilian and military) routes from Mainland India to the North East exist via this corridor.

On the Night of 29/30 August 2020, PLA troops violated the previous consensus arrived at during military and diplomatic engagements during the ongoing standoff in Eastern Ladakh and carried out provocative military movements to change the status quo.

Indian troops pre-empted this PLA activity on the Southern Bank of Pangong Tso Lake, undertook measures to strengthen our positions and thwart Chinese intentions to unilaterally change facts on ground.
The Indian Army is committed to maintaining peace and tranquility through dialogue, but is also equally determined to protect its territorial integrity. A Brigade Commander level Flag Meeting is in progress at Chushul to resolve the issues.

My latest interview with @RajaFaisal01 on suicide/fracticide in Indian Armed Forces where an Indian soldier dies every third day as per Indian Govt data.
P.S: Comments about politicians were made in response to Indian Col's diatribe against Pakistan Army's support to PMIK Govt.
Face to face with #IndianArmy Col Shailendra Singh.
Topic: Suicide/fracticide in Indian Armed Forces. A soldier dies every third day as per Govt of India data. Maximum cases are reported in #IIOJK&North East. Divine Cost of atrocities by @adgpi in #Kashmir
Every 3rd day an Indian Army Soldier kills himself.... The toll of illegal occupation & running an apartheid in #Kashmir is taking its toll on the conscious of these soldiers making them kill themselves & their colleagues/officers.

India seemed caught off guard by the new burst of violence, which the 2 sides blamed on each other."

'China is upset'
- That is what news reports and think tank circuit will have us believe.
- Why?
- Because we've build new roads.
- Some even want us to suspend building new roads.
- I mean, seriously?
#GalwanValley
As I said earlier, don't fall for rumor mongers and those deliberately trying to undermine Indian interests:
To those claiming 3,000 or 5,000 Chinese troops have entered Indian areas across LAC - what proof do you have? Who has counted them? And how exactly so many troops squat themselves in areas across LAC at 3-4 sites? Where's the common sense here?

The most idiotic thing that you'll come across as India-China square off on LAC and Sikkim is pathetic, defeatist commentary from Indian 'think-tanks' and 'strategic experts'. They'll have you believe that China is going to win w/o firing a shot!
From 2008 onward, Chinese started pricking India so much that a even a naturally lethargic Indian establishment reacted by raising new -
1) 3+1 Mountain Divisions
2) 3 x Infantry/Mtn Brigade Groups
3) 2 x Armored Brigades
4) Rejigged one more infantry division for north.

- If anything, all this posturing by the Chinese will lead to further hardening of stand by India. And pumping of new resources against the Chinese across the board.
