The Union Home Ministry has given the go-ahead to the BSF to attend biannual border talks with Bangladesh in Dhaka, beginning August 25. Bangladesh had sent an invitation for the talks earlier this month.
This will be the first Dhaka visit by an Indian delegation after the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government last year.
“During the course of the conference, discussions will be held on prevention against attack/assault on BSF personnel and Indian civilians by Bangladesh-based miscreants/nationals, how to prevent trans-border crimes, construction of single row fence, action against Indian insurgent groups (IIGs) in Bangladesh, issues related to border infrastructure, joint efforts for effective implementation of coordinated border management plan (CBMP), confidence building measures (CBM) and other issues,” a BSF spokesman said.
“The 56th director general level border co-ordination conference between the BSF and BGB will be organised by the BGB in Dhaka between August 25 and 28,” the spokesman said.
