About Dahagram union and Tin Bigha koridor

 

Dahagram Union

Dahagram Union is a part of Bangladesh located in the northern district of Lalmonirhat, within Patgram Upazila. It’s a unique region because it used to be an enclave of Bangladesh within India until an agreement was reached. Dahagram is one of the larger enclaves, with a population engaged mainly in agriculture, particularly in rice, jute, and seasonal fruits.

Dahagram Union Tin Bigha Corridor

 

Tin Bigha Corridor (also called **Three Bigha Corridor**) is a narrow strip of land, about 178 meters wide and 85 meters long, located in West Bengal, India. This corridor was created to provide a land connection between the Dahagram–Angarpota enclaves and mainland Bangladesh. Historically, these enclaves were difficult for Bangladeshis to access because of their isolation in Indian territory.

The corridor was officially opened in 1992 after long diplomatic negotiations between Bangladesh and India. Since then, it has allowed the residents of Dahagram access to the rest of Bangladesh, although initially, it was open only for limited hours. Over time, due to further agreements, the corridor became accessible 24 hours, easing the lives of people living in Dahagram by allowing them freedom of movement and trade with the rest of Bangladesh.

The **Tin Bigha Corridor** is significant for the geopolitical relationship between Bangladesh and India, symbolizing cooperation and compromise in resolving the complex issue of enclaves that once dotted the borders of both countries.
