Akhaura Land Port, Mar 21 (bdnews24.com)—Taking a break from their security duties, border guards of Bangladesh and India have celebrated Holi at a frontier check post near Agartala as a symbol of communal harmony.

Holi, the most vibrant festival of colours in India, indicates the end of winter and onset of spring. It is also associated with the uninhibited expression of love and affection through colours and sweets.

At Akhwara check post (ACP) near Agartala, the capital of Indian north-eastern state Tripura, the festival on Sunday brought a much-needed breather from security duties for the paramilitary personnel.

The Border Security Force (BSF) and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) smeared colour dusts in the face of their counterparts and hugged while conveying greetings for the festival.

"We are celebrating Holi with the soldiers of our friendly neighbour. It's a new experience and this fulfils the gap of being away from our families. It's an attempt to improve our relation with our counterpart," said K N Singh, company commandant of BSF's 77 battalion.

The BGB team was led by BGB 12 battalion's Mohammad Rafikul, who is in-charge of Akhwara Land Port in Brahminbaria.

The celebration ended with the exchange of sweets and wishes to maintain better relations at the border.

India and Bangladesh shares a long 4,096-km border and a five-day BSF-BGB director general (DG)-level talks concluded in New Delhi on a positive note to maintain better relation at the ground level between the border guards of the two close door neighbours.

It could have been a really good thread had he not put his comments. Indians would have thanked you for posting a positive news for once. Alas...

It seems like all the citizens of neighboring countries of india have found a new way to satisfy their ego by constantly criticizing india. They only talk about one or two stray incidents and bad-mouth india.

Rather than taking a leaf out of india's success story, they blame india for their country's current state, social, political and economical.

Dude if your country is left out in the race of development then is it india's fault?? And what really you want to prove by posting such a comment.

Had you put such an effort for benefit of your country, rather than ranting against india, your country would have stood at a better position than india.

Its in their nature, to blame other countries fr their incompetence. Remember the bangladesh west indies cricket match ? Their fans started pelting the west indies bus with stones just because their own team is a disgrace to the game

Your Indian army did nothing... they just came during the last 13 days and the surrender happens due to the fact that bengali liberation fighters made pakistani army exhausted ...

Still there are lots of funs about Indian army of 71 that I have heard from many peoples... that big sized pakistani soldiers were handed to skinny and short Indian army......

Whatever the matter this pakistani soldier would have surrendered to Bangladeshi forces long ago but they were fearing vengeance... and revenge and so they decided to surrender to Indian army thinking it would be safe but even Indian army was not sure that they would be able to protect them...

If this sort of biased and false history is thought in Indian text book and it keeps you diluted then no body will stop you to remain diluted that without India bangladesh would not get independence and it is India who have gave Bangladesh independence where as it is the Bangladeshi freedom fighters those who have achieved it...

Just look at yemen and algeria ... how they kicked the butt of england and france without outside help and got their independence .... n pakistan at 1971 was no where near to the France or England.... n with or without Indian involvement Bangladesh would have got independence... Indian involvement made the war much worse and caused a heavy damage to bangladesh and move bangladesh backword where as up to 1970 bangladesh had higher per capita gdp then both India and China...

I think if shaikh mujibor rahman would have asked UNs involvement to get independence as Bhutto was not handing over power it would put pakistan in a difficult situation... only it would have 2 option handing over power or accept independence of Bangladesh... n all this bloodshed would have been avoided. I think India was provoking him to go for direct clash which he could avoid by being wise...

But even after all these bigotry of bhutto and yahya khan made the think worse... where as majority of the west pakistanis were ready to accept independent bangladesh after the election .....

This is for the bharatis ... just watch this international news and correct your history book that India had give independence of Bangladesh with the 93000 army... even though with or without them it would have been achieved... pakistani army could have fought only another 30 days....
