为保障东北“鸡脖子”走廊的安全，印度计划在该段修建地下铁路，线路全长近40公里

Amid threats to ‘chicken’s neck’, India to take rail corridor underground

“鸡脖子”走廊遭安全威胁，印度拟将该段铁路改建为地下线路

GUWAHATI: India’s plan to secure the strategic “chicken’s neck” corridor to the Northeast from Bengal includes laying underground rail tracks through the nearly 40km stretch flanked by Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh, railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said Monday.

Vaishnaw said the Budget contains a proposal to expand railway link between the region and the rest of the country to four tracks, fulfilling a long-felt need. Northeast Frontier Railway GM Chetan Shrivastava said the underground stretch would run from Tin Mile Haat to Rangapani stations within Bengal.

古瓦哈提讯：印度铁道部长阿什维尼·瓦什瑙周一表示，为保障连接西孟加拉邦至印度东北部的战略要地“鸡脖子”走廊安全，印度计划在该段修建地下铁路，线路全长近40公里，周边毗邻尼泊尔、不丹与孟加拉国。

瓦什瑙称，本次财政预算中已提出方案，将该区域与印度本土的铁路线路扩至四线轨道，满足长期以来的交通需求。印度东北边境铁路总负责人切坦·什里瓦斯塔瓦表示，该地下铁路段位于西孟加拉邦境内，起自廷迈尔哈特站，终至兰加帕尼站。

Decision to take the tracks underground stems from threats — overt and covert — to target the chicken’s neck, which is barely 25km wide at the narrowest point. Concerns over the corridor, being seen as India’s Achilles heel, grew after the fall of Hasina govt in Bangladesh, with some groups speaking about “choking the chicken’s neck” to cut off the Northeast. Voices have framed the region as part of their vision of a “greater Bangladesh”. Dhaka’s outreach towards China is another red flag.

During the 2017 Doklam stand-off, military planners had talked about the vulnerability of the Siliguri stretch of the corridor. Any disruption here could isolate NE, severing supply lines and impeding movement of troops.

“Taking the tracks underground is part of the strategy to ensure connectivity even in times of crises,” an official said.

此次将线路改建为地下铁路，源于“鸡脖子”走廊面临的明、暗双重打击威胁，该走廊最窄处宽度仅25公里。孟加拉国哈西娜政府下台后，外界对这一被视作印度“阿喀琉斯之踵”的走廊担忧加剧，部分组织扬言要“扼住鸡脖子”，切断印度东北部与本土的联系，还有声音将该区域划入其所谓“大孟加拉国”的构想范围。此外，孟加拉国向中国示好的举动，也是印度的一大安全警示。

2017年洞朗对峙期间，军方规划部门就曾指出该走廊西里古里段的防御薄弱性。此处交通一旦中断，印度东北部将陷入孤立，物资补给线被切断，军队调动也会受阻。

一名官员表示：“将铁路线路地下化，是相关战略部署的一部分，目的是确保即便在危机状态下，区域交通连通性也不会中断。”

以下是印度时报读者的评论：

India Babus and Netas only react to crisis. No pro active strategy. Too busy looting the treasury
Rangpur district should have been annexed in 1947 along with Chittagong . Now it has taken Yunus threats to come up with this plan after 75 years

印度的官僚和政客只会出了危机才被动应对，根本没有前瞻规划，整天就忙着侵吞国家财政。

朗布尔地区本该在1947年就和吉大港一起划归印度，时隔75年，现在被尤努斯的威胁逼得才拿出这个方案。

Building a tunnel is a very wise idea , ensuring proper secrecy on its route and laying it out at a proper depth under tough岩石 or mountains would secure it from all sorts of external threats . Fielding batteries of SAMs on either side of the tunnel with a close watch to the approach roads , creating a self sustaining eco system in the northeast would greatly favour the nations security .

修建隧道是非常明智的举措。严格保密线路走向，在坚硬岩层或山体下深挖铺设，就能抵御各类外部威胁。在隧道两侧部署地对空导弹，严密管控进出道路，在东北部建立自给自足的体系，能极大提升国家安全。

It has been that way for long time. How does going under ground and over help given it is always a security risk with heavy bombs. India needs independent bases and powwr to last of war breaks out and ways to over ride Bangladesh

这种安全隐患长期存在。就算修了地上、地下铁路，面对重型炸弹袭击还是没用。印度需要独立军事基地和持久战力，一旦开战能撑得住，还要有制衡孟加拉国的手段。

The Siliguri Corridor needs to be expanded to 225 km from 25 km. Either Kangaldesh sells it to us or we drive out the Kangaldeshis from there by force. It needs to be done fast, a blitzkrieg may work.

西里古里走廊必须从25公里拓宽到225公里。要么孟加拉国把这片地卖给我们，要么我们武力赶走当地人。必须速战速决，闪电战或许可行。

Concerns over the corridor, being seen as India’s Achilles heel, grew AFTER THE FALL OF THE HASINA GOVT in Bangladesh, with SOME GROUPS SPEAKING ABOUT "CHOKING THE CHICKEN's NECK to cut off the Northeast. Voices have framed the region as part of their vision of a "GREATER BANGLADESH". Dhaka’s outreach towards China is another red flag"
The Minister has LIED.
From the day, BD rose in revolt I read every published report on the revolt. Corruption was mentioned. Falsification of Election was mentioned. Mass murder was mentioned . And two days after the shooting at Pahalgam , the warning was mentioned "If India attacked Pakistan BD would attack India"
Will the Minister quote his source to prove that BD even talked of wringing the Chicken's Neck?
I reproduce a Comment I posted on 19 May 2025 which will expose the lie
"Win or lose war is bad for India.
People are poor and growing poorer. Investors are shying away from India for good reason - there is no market in India because of lack of purchasing power and India cannot compete with China for the export market.
War is likely to make India an easy prey in this situation.
BEFORE the killings in Pahalgam on 22 April , a FORMER NSA warned the Government that CHINA IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PAKISTAN AND BANGLADESH COULD FIND AN EXCUSE TO CHOKE INDIA AT CHICKEN's NECK AND TAKE AWAY SEVEN EASTERN STATES OF INDIA, which will make the rest of India very vulnerable to external aggression by the same combination of China, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO SIGN OF HAVING READ THE WARNING.
IN THIS HAPPY SITUATION WHY DID I READ A HEADLINE IN THIS PAPER ON 17 MAY ASKING "IS CHINA PLANNING TO CHOCKE INDIA AT CHICKEN HEAD?" WHICH WAS WHAT THE FORMER NSA STATED BEFORE 22 APRIL."
The Government needed an excuse to sign a Contract to build a Tunnel. It could have used a Railway-related excuse, but trusting the dumbness of brain-washed it gave BD as excuse.

官方称，孟加拉国哈西娜政府倒台后，有人扬言扼守鸡脖子、割裂印度东北，还鼓吹“大孟加拉国”，达卡靠拢中国也是危险信号，这条被视作印度软肋的走廊才引发更多担忧。这完全是部长在撒谎。

从孟加拉国发生动乱那天起，所有相关报道我都看过。报道提过腐败、选举造假、大规模屠杀。帕哈尔加姆枪击案两天后，就有警告称“印度若攻打巴基斯坦，孟加拉国就会攻击印度”。

这位部长敢拿出消息来源，证明孟加拉国真的提过扼守鸡脖子吗？

我翻出2025年5月19日的评论，戳穿这个谎言：

“战争无论输赢，对印度都没好处。民众本就贫穷，还在越变越穷。投资者远离印度是有原因的——民众购买力不足，国内没有市场，出口也竞争不过中国。
这种局势下，战争只会让印度任人宰割。

4月22日帕哈尔加姆惨案发生前，一位前国家安全顾问就警告政府：中、巴、孟三国可能找借口扼守鸡脖子，侵占印度东北七邦，之后再联手侵略印度其他地区，整个国家都会岌岌可危。但政府完全没理会这个警告。

明明是前顾问提前预警，5月17日这家报纸却刊出标题《中国计划扼守印度鸡脖子？》，这不是很可笑吗？”

政府只是想找个借口签隧道修建合同，明明可以用铁路建设的理由，却拿孟加拉国当幌子，赌被洗脑的民众不会识破。

India needs to reign in Kangladesh soon before it becomes unmanageable. If required, 1971 should be repeated. This time to split this idiotic country.

印度必须尽快管控孟加拉国，等局面失控就晚了。必要的话，重演1971年的行动，这次直接把这个愚蠢的国家肢解。

If neeed india can secure chicken neck by widening it by including bangladeshi territory.

必要时，印度可以吞并孟加拉国部分领土，拓宽鸡脖子走廊，保障安全。

The Siliguri corridor ("Chicken's Neck") is a very narrow portion having just about 20 kms between Nepal and Bangladesh, this spot or the "neck" is easy to wring or squeeze by the external parties to block access to the NE (North Eastern) part of India.
So, India should take-over the Northern part of Bangladesh straight from Pirijpur in West Bengal to Mahendraganj in Meghalaya, in order to make the corridor wider and to have more access to the 7 states in the NE part of India.

西里古里走廊（鸡脖子）最窄处仅20公里，夹在尼泊尔和孟加拉国之间，外部势力很容易封锁这里，切断印度东北的交通。印度应该直接占领孟加拉国北部地区，从西孟加拉邦的皮里杰普尔延伸至梅加拉亚邦的马亨德拉根杰，拓宽走廊，打通东北七邦的交通。

Need to reconsider this wasteful option with option to widen chicken neck to Yonus neck, canceling oil aid to Bangladesh or have Bangladesh pay for it with steep tax on import as well as export tax.

别搞这种烧钱的工程，重新考虑方案。可以把鸡脖子拓宽，叫停对孟石油援助，或者用高额进出口税让孟加拉国买单。

For India's security we need Rangpur and Chittagong.

为了印度安全，朗布尔和吉大港都必须拿到手。

Why not enlarge the chicken neck?

为什么不直接拓宽鸡脖子走廊？

India should be prepared to cut off 2 chicken necks of Bangladesh in north, widening the Siliguri corridor to 230 Km and eastern chicken neck near Chittagong.

印度要做好准备，切断孟加拉国北部两处咽喉地带，把西里古里走廊拓宽至230公里，同时控制吉大港附近的东部咽喉。
