Yunus working hand in glove with China to revive B’desh airbase near Siliguri corridor, warn experts Dhaka/New Delhi, May 27 (SocialNews.XYZ) The re-activation of Lalmonirhat air base, reportedly for Chinese use, by Bangladesh's interim government led by Muhammad Yunus has prompted serious concerns over region's security, several experts have highlighted.
