India has removed 47 more items from its negative list allowing duty-free excess of more Bangladeshi goods to the Indian market, a Foreign Ministry official said on Monday.
The decision was taken during negotiations between delegations of the two countries led by the two prime ministers, a foreign ministry official told said.
The official said India had earlier taken 56 items off the negative list.
Wishing not to be quoted, the official said Bangladesh also handed over a list of priority items, out of the 47 items, now out of the negative list. India is considering it, he added.
Indian Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee yesterday said that India would like to provide duty free access facilities to more Bangladeshi goods, according to a message received in Dhaka.
"We want many Bangladeshi products to enter India with duty free facilities," he said after a meeting with Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at the ITC Maurya Hotel, where she was staying during her four-day tour of India.
Bangladesh has already sought duty-free market access for 232 products to India. The neighbouring country has already removed 47 items from its negative list to help benefit Bangladesh economy.
Pranab termed Hasina's visit a high point of relations between the two countries. "This is a historic visit; it marks a new era in Indo-Bangladesh relations." "For the first time Dhaka understands our concerns and we understand theirs."
He indicated that India and Bangladesh were on good terms and were cooperating with each other. "All we sought was mutual cooperation. And it had been that way over the last year."
Mukherjee has had a long personal family connection with Hasina. A prominent leader of the Congress party from the Indian state of West Bengal, Mukherjee was a deputy minister in India's the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's Government when Hasina came to Delhi after her father's assassination.
Hasina may on Tuesday meet with Mukherjee's wife Suvra Mukherjee, one of her close friends since her Delhi days
Good Move by Delhi, atleast this will probably reduce the trade deficit of bangladesh.

Delhi assures Dhaka of suspending Tipai plan
File PhotoStar Online Report
In a significant goodwill gesture, India has assured Bangladesh that it would suspend work on the Tipaimukh dam, which had raised serious environmental concerns in that country, Indian official sources said.
The assurance was given at the highest level when visiting Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh held delegation-level talks last night, officials told media persons late Monday night.
The sources said Singh has assured Hasina that India would not take any step on the Tipaimukh dam which will adversely affect the people of Bangladesh in any manner, reports our correspondent in New Delhi.
Two leading Indian dailies – The Times of India and The Hindustan Times -- reported on Tuesday that India would stop work on Tipaimukh dam project.
Environmentalists in Bangladesh had expressed strong reservations about the dam on cross-border Barak river in the northeastern Indian state of Manipur saying it would affect the flow of water on the Bangladesh side.
A Bangladeshi delegation of parliamentarians and experts, led by senior Awami League leader Abdur Razzaq, had visited New Delhi last year and held discussions with Indian Power Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde and other officials about the Tipaimukh power project. However, the delegation failed to make it to the project site because of bad weather.
The sources said Singh told Hasina that her visit has “opened a new chapter” and there was “complete unity of minds and hearts to make the bilateral relations “forward-looking and multi-faceted”.

NEW DELHI: Taking the current bonhomie with the Sheikh Hasina government to a new level, PM Manmohan Singh on Monday announced a $1 billion line of credit for Bangladesh, the highest one-time line of credit assistance to any country by India.
Authorities described the aid as an apt reciprocation to the cooperation received from Bangladesh in dealing with terrorism and insurgency since Sheikh Hasina came back to power.
The credit will aid infrastructural development in that country, including building railway bridges, supply of locomotives and assistance in dredging.
Sheikh Hasina assured that no anti-India activity would be allowed to be carried out from the country. Sources said security was one of the most important issues on which the two sides agreed to actively cooperate.
During his meeting with Sheikh Hasina, Singh said her visit had opened a new chapter in India-Bangladesh ties leading to “complete unity of heart and mind”.
In another goodwill gesture, India said it would stop work on the Tipaimukh dam project which had caused resentment in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was inundated by official meetings through the day but her family had other social obligations.
The PM's son Sajeeb Wazed Joy and daughter Saima Wazed Hossain Putul, accompanied by their aunt Sheikh Rehana and her children, called on the Gandhi family to revive an old connection that had become rusty with disuse.
Sheikha Hasina came bearing mouth-watering gifts — Bangladesh’s famous hilsa fish from the Padma river, which they swear is tastier than the Indian hilsa from the Ganga.
In return, Sheikh Hasina will probably be gifted a little bit of West Bengal when railway minister Mamata Banerjee gifts her a ‘Dhonekhali’ saree, a speciality of the state and a variety she personally prefers, along with some of Kolkata’s ‘notun gurer shondesh’.

India to supply 250MW power to Bangladesh
NEW DELHI: In another goodwill gesture, India said it would stop work on the Tipaimukh dam project which had caused resentment in Bangladesh.
India had earlier announced construction of a 1,500MW hydroelectric dam on the Barak river in the north-east. The river flows into Bangladesh before emptying into the Bay of Bengal. Apart from that, India will also supply 250MW of electricity to Bangladesh over and above the 100MW agreed to last year.
New Delhi sought to address Dhaka’s concerns with regard to non-tariff barriers by agreeing to remove these on many more items. At the wide-ranging talks here between the two leaders, the two sides reached a number of decisions to revive the traditional links of connectivity, which included the Akhaura-Agartala railway line.
As announced earlier, the two sides signed five agreements, three of them a nod to India’s primary concerns on security and terrorism. They were on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters, agreement on transfer of sentenced persons and an agreement on combating international terrorism, organized crime and illicit drug trafficking.
On Monday, Hasina and Singh met for delegation level talks in the evening, with the two leaders meeting in a one-on-one basis before the talks.
In a speech, the Bangladesh PM said, “I can give you this assurance that Bangladesh is committed to eliminating all forms of terrorism from within its territory.” The talks focused on terror, trade and investment, boundary and particularly water sharing. At the banquet held in her honour, Sheikh Hasina stressed on a water agreement, reminding India of the Ganges water treaty of 1996 .

250 MW elctricity export - India does not have enough electricity in western part but have surplus in eastern part. What indian is playing with is trying to power transit using Bangladeshi grids in name of exporting mere 250 MW. By the 250 MW means nothing when we have 4000-5000 MW shortage.
47 items removed from negetive list - another indian deception ploy. Indian played same deception before removing duty for show and keeping para tariff in place so net effect of farcial removal of duty means nothing.
$1 billion credit line - this so called soft loan nothing but another big hoax played by indians. Bangladesh have enough reserve and fund on its own and does not need indian money. Furthermore as details of these indian ploy getting available, indians are extending these money so indian stooge, Awami govt can develop infrastructure for providing transit to india.
All thee items indians posted here goes to show, what extent Awami stooge govt will go to fool Bangladeshis and to score on indian stooge book.

India agrees to cede 17,000 acres to Bangladesh
Jyoti Malhotra / New Delhi January 15, 2010, 0:19 IST
At last India has decided to settle some of its dues with history with Bangladesh, by agreeing in principle to cede control over some 17,000 acres of territory as part of a larger, comprehensive agreement, in which the remaining tiny part of the 4,096 km-long boundary will be demarcated, while several pockets of adverse possessions and enclaves claimed by both sides are likely to be settled on an “as-is-where-is” basis.
The decision to settle the matter is believed to have been taken at the highest political levels in India, on the eve of Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s visit to India earlier this week, and is in keeping with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s view that small disagreements cannot be allowed to come in the way of a dynamic relationship with Delhi’s eastern neighbour.
Home Secretary GK Pillai confirmed to Business Standard that India, during the home secretary-level talks in Dhaka in early December had offered such a comprehensive agreement to Dhaka – demarcating the remaining 6.1 km of the 4,096-km long boundary, plus settling the matter of adverse possessions and enclaves — and had received a positive response from the Bangladeshi government.
India holds as many as 111 enclaves or tiny bits of land within Bangladesh territory, amounting to some 17,000 acres since the partition of the subcontinent in 1947 (initially held by Pakistan, and after 1971, with Bangladesh), while Bangladesh holds some 51 enclaves amounting to about 7,000 acres in India.
It is believed that India has in principle agreed that it will cede control over its enclaves, even though the difference is about 10,000 acres in Bangladesh’s favour. Meaning, once the negotiations are complete, the Indian enclaves within Bangladeshi territory would be absorbed within Bangladesh and vice-versa.
Officials on both sides agreed that such a path-breaking agreement was on the cards, but it would take between 18-24 months to iron out the details. India needs a constitutional amendment on its part to formalise the boundary demarcation. A joint land boundary working group meeting is expected to be held soon.
In addition, both sides agreed during Hasina’s visit that a flyover would be built to connect Bangladesh territory with the Angarpota-Dahagram enclave, separated by a tiny bit of land called the Teen Bigha corridor (literally, 3 bighas, or the size of a football field), so that Bangladeshis would have 24-hour access to their own territory.
Since Bangladeshis can only exit and enter Angarpota-Dahagram from sunrise to sunset, as India controls the Teen Bigha corridor, the matter had snowballed into a huge issue within Bangladesh.
“The India-Bangladesh relationship has been marred by such silliness over the last several decades, thereby casting a large shadow over the entire relationship,” said noted South Asian analyst BG Verghese.
Verghese pointed out that two Indian prime ministers, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi, had in fact promised to their counterparts, erstwhile Pakistani prime minister Feroz Khan Noon in 1958 and Mujib-ur Rahman in 1974, in their respective land boundary agreements, that both sides would transfer or “exchange” these small bits of enclaves held in “adverse possession” by the other side.
But nothing of the sort happened, as Left Front politics within West Bengal – some of the intervening pieces of land were said to be “controlled” by the Forward Bloc, even as litigants hit the courts seeking stays on the matter – prevented a diplomatic resolution.
But with the UPA’s second coming, and the Left Front out of the picture, Delhi has now decided that it will move to decisively resolve the matter, sources said.
Sources pointed out that with Sheikh Hasina in power in Bangladesh, “a historic opportunity presented itself, and may not come again. It is better to resolve these issues now and make India-Bangladesh relations a model for South Asia.”
As for the demarcation of the 4,096-km boundary between the two countries (262 km in Assam, 443 km in Meghalaya, 2,216.7 km in West Bengal, 318 km in Mizoram and 856 km in Tripura), only 6.1 km remain to be demarcated, of which two parts are riverine and the third is a tiny piece of land.
The riverine boundaries are related to the Mohuri and Sui rivers, both of which flow into Bangladesh from India, but whose ownership has been contested by both sides. While Delhi has offered that the median of the river be used to divide it up, the problem is that the river changes course every year as it floods the plain and therefore, the mid-point of the river changes as well.
Over the last many years, Indian and Bangladeshi officials have contested ownership of the rivers, citing maps that date as long back as 1914. But with the new bonhomie between the two nations, it is now being said that these issues will also be quickly resolved.

For idune and other bangla haters the issue is not between Bangladesh and India it is between Muslims and Hindus. So nothing,I mean nothing can make them love India. Even if India gives its whole land to Bangladesh they will still hate India with equal passion and spirit. Their hate is simply incurable.

My 2 cents.
Awami Govt commands 230 out of 300 seats in parliament and with coalition partners it goes upto 260 / 300. Does that give some clue what Bangladesh wants.
dont read to much into some India hater posters. Let Bangladeshi janta decide whats good and whats bad.
The same people would sacrifice there life for indian soldier in 1971.
But what really chnage after 1971 ? does indian people even bother to know ?
Mujib, he declared a one party govt., his Rakkhi bahani were completely trained and equipped by india which was killing and rapping people in BD and there was no law against him. India gave mujib a blind check and mujib also gave india a blinde check. After majub death, except the AL govt, no other govt of bd was seen with a
friend gesture from india. So, for india, BD is a friend country if we vote for AL and it will fullfill the wish of india.
BD muslim never hate hindus and inside bd we live as good neighbor.
Indian govt. happen to be hindu. It is not hindu muslim hate.
We have much better relation with Nepal which is officially a hindu state.

Indian People? hmmm NO ... but should we really bother?
..... I guess GoI does really care about what happens in your state.
Trained and armed to fight against PA?, yes. But the other accusations that you make are fabricated. You guys are yourself divided on what status to confer to him --- Father of nation ..... or a TRAITOR ? Decide amongst yourself first and then debate it out here.
Kindly clarify what do you mean by blind check? We broke Pakistan and let you decide your your own fate. We did not stay back. What blind check are you talking about?
Are you surprised or ignorant about how world polarity work's? ...EVERY country in the world wishes to have a friendly government in its immediate neighborhood. No exceptions. Pakistan supported Zia and we supported AL. This was the base. And you were the proxy for both state's.
Maybe living in a islamic republic you are ill informed about Democratic Republic Of India. Have a look in wikipedia, google around for culture of INDIA and about muslims in India. Surprise yourself.
