A small corridor of about 22 kilometres connects the North-East region to the rest of the country.

During the 1980s, the North-East region witnessed a pivotal shift in its regional ambitions. Presently composed of seven States often collectively referred to as the 'seven sisters', this region constitutes a mere 4 percent of the nation's populace but claims roughly double that share in terms of land area. A slender corridor spanning approximately 22 kilometres is the sole connection linking this region with the remainder of the country. Conversely, the northeast is flanked by borders shared with China, Myanmar, and Bangladesh, consequently functioning as India's entrance to Southeast Asia.
