Binnaguri is the HQ for 20 Mtn Div, it's along the foothills of Kalimpong hills, directly south of the tri-junction, it could have an Army Aviation Base though. The main Army aviation base for 33 corps is located at Sevoke on the outskirts of Siliguri Town.

They are deployed at Sikkim-Tibet border as well. There is a Sector HQ here at Gangtok headed by a DIG (Gangtok Sector).

Just a nitpick but the Gorkhaland Territorial Council does not extend to the entire district of Darjeeling, it is only in the three hill sub divisions of Darjeeling, hence the map would be slghtly different, the colored parts would only be immediately south of Sikkim and not around the chicken neck ...
