Teen Bigha Corridor

Teen Bigha Corridor

The Teen Bigha Corridor is a strip of land formerly belonging to India on the West Bengal–Bangladesh border which has been leased indefinitely to Bangladesh so that it can access its Dehgram–Angalpota enclaves, [ [http://www.nenanews.com/NEE%20%20Sept.22%20-%20Oct.%206,%2003/Cover%20Story.htm Cover story] ] one of the Indo-Bangladesh enclaves.

"Teen" is three in Hindi, and bigha is a unit of area roughly 1,500 to 6,771 square meters. There is ongoing dispute regarding use of this land by anti-India forces and illegal immigrants to cross over into India which Bangladesh vehemently denies. This Corridor was formally transferred to Bangladesh on June 26, 1992.
