What's right
What's wrong
Breakdown
The claim that West Bengal's new government handed over 120 acres in the "Chicken's Neck" (Siliguri Corridor) to the Centre (specifically the Home Ministry/BSF) as a major security move is largely accurate and supported by multiple sources. The sources confirm the transfer of 120 acres in the strategically vital Siliguri Corridor to the Centre.
This move is widely reported as a significant national security development. The purpose of closing weak border gaps, protecting the Northeast's lifeline, and deterring illegal infiltrators is also consistent across the provided references.
The strategic importance of the corridor, its proximity to China's border, and the potential for increased pressure are also mentioned. While the claim mentions the 'Home Ministry', some sources specify the transfer is to the Border Security Force (BSF), which is under the Home Ministry, making this detail accurate in context.
The 'new government' aspect is supported by reports linking the decision to the Suvendu Adhikari-led government shortly after it assumed office, indicating a swift action by the new administration. [1][2][3]
