The Teesta River flows through North Bengal near the Siliguri Corridor, also known as the ''Chicken's Neck,'' in West Bengal, India, on April 15, 2026. This river, originating in Sikkim, spans 414 km and flows through Sikkim and West Bengal into Bangladesh, where it is the fourth largest river and crucial for agricultural livelihood. Recent Chinese involvement in a Teesta River project in Bangladesh raises security concerns for India. In the past, flash floods in the Teesta River, triggered by heavy rain and an October 2023 glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) in Sikkim, disrupted connectivity on NH-10 near Siliguri. The overflow threatens infrastructure and led to evacuations in low-lying West Bengal, significantly impacting Siliguri and Jalpaiguri with damage to roads and bridges.
