India alert as Bangladesh reviving airbase near Siliguri Corridor

India’s security agencies are on heightened alert following reports that Bangladesh’s interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, is working to revive the long-dormant Lalmonirhat airbase in the country’s north—with active support from China. The development, just 135 kilometres from the strategic Siliguri Corridor or “Chicken’s Neck,” has raised significant concern in New Delhi.
