The '''Chicken's Neck''', or the '''Akhnoor Dagger''', is the name for a narrow strip of [[Pakistan]]i territory that extends into the [[India]]n Union Territory of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]] south of [[Akhnoor]]. This sensitive piece of land, which lies on the ''de facto'' Indo–Pakistani border on the west side of the disputed region of [[Kashmir]], is part of [[Punjab, Pakistan|Punjab Province]]'s [[Sialkot District]] and measures roughly {{convert|170|km²|abbr=on}}. It has been a focal point in all the wars between India and Pakistan, as it is seen as a corridor towards most of Jammu and Kashmir. One of the main thrusts of [[Operation Grand Slam]] in the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1965]] was to capture Akhnoor through the Chicken's Neck, which could potentially have choked the [[Indian Army]] in the region; however, the plan failed.
