India's Strategic Underground Railway Project

Overview of the Siliguri Corridor

  • India is developing an underground railway project in a highly vulnerable area known as the Siliguri Corridor, also referred to as the "Chicken Neck."
  • This corridor is only 22 km wide and serves as a critical link connecting Northeast India to the mainland.
  • Strategically, it is considered India's most crucial chokepoint; disruption here could isolate several states including Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, Nagaland, and Meghalaya.

Recent Developments and Risks

  • Recent developments have heightened risks associated with this corridor. Bangladesh has openly discussed cutting off access to the Chicken Neck.
  • Additionally, Bangladesh's decision to redevelop the Lal Munirhat Airbase poses further threats due to its proximity to this sensitive region.
  • The area is already sensitive because it borders China, Nepal, and Bhutan; thus any conflict could make it a primary target.

Details of the Underground Railway Line

  • To address these vulnerabilities, Indian Railways is constructing a 35.6 km long underground railway line.
  • This railway will run from Mahananda River near Bagdogra and will be located 20 to 24 meters below ground level.
  • At this depth, detecting or targeting the railway with missiles or airstrikes becomes extremely difficult.
  • The project will directly connect with Bagdogra Air Force Station and Indian Army military infrastructure.
