Assam CM reminds Dhaka of two Bangladesh ‘chicken necks’

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday attacked those who "habitually threaten" India on the "Chicken Neck corridor" and said they should note that Bangladesh has two such narrow strips of land, which are "far more vulnerable."

His statement comes weeks after Bangladesh interim government chief Muhammad Yunus's remarks on "Chicken's Neck", a narrow strip of land in West Bengal's Siliguri that connects the northeast region with the rest of India.

Mr Sarma, who heads one of the seven states in the northeast, said Bangladesh's first "Chicken Neck" is the 80-kilometre-long North Bangladesh Corridor between Dakhin Dinajpur and South West Garo Hills.
