This is BIG. For decades, the “Chicken’s Neck” has been used as an intimidation tactic by anti-national forces, both within and beyond our borders. The proposed underground rail link marks a major strategic breakthrough, creating a secure and foolproof transportation corridor between the North East and the rest of the country. Thanks to the decisive leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji and Hon’ble Minister Shri @AshwiniVaishnaw Ji, we are taking a giant step towards mitigating this long-standing strategic vulnerability – one that, in hindsight, should have been addressed much earlier, perhaps even in the aftermath of 1971.
