India steps up defense with 3 new military bases near Siliguri Corridor

India Nov 30, 2025

India has just built three new military bases in the region to better protect the Siliguri Corridor, a narrow but vital stretch linking the northeast to the rest of the country.
These bases come packed with rapid deployment teams and intelligence units, boosting security right along the Bangladesh border.

Why should you care?

The Siliguri Corridor is basically a lifeline for 45 million people in northeast India, but its slim geography makes it vulnerable to outside threats.
With Bangladesh strengthening ties with China and Pakistan, India's new bases are all about staying ready and keeping that crucial connection safe.
This move means faster response times and stronger defense if things get tense in the region.
