A six-day Director General (DG)-level conference between BGB and BSF began in the city Sunday, reports UNB.

Indian Border Security Force (BSF) DG Shri Subhash Joshi is leading a 20-member Indian delegation to the border conference while the home side is being led by his Bangladesh counterpart Maj Gen Aziz Ahmed.

The conference will end on September 18 with the signing of a Joint Record of Discussion.

Sources at the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) headquarters said, the home side is likely to raise at the conference issues relating to security at the porous Indo-Bangla border, including the killing of unarmed Bangladeshi nationals by BSF and Indian citizens, cross-border movement of locals and criminals, smuggling of Indian firearms and narcotics into Bangladesh and illegal trespassing by BSF and Indian nationals into Bangladesh territory.

The possibility of holding Deputy Commissioner (DC)-level meeting of frontier districts of both sides regularly is expected to come up at the conference for discussion.

The border conference is being held in the wake of verdict in the Felani murder case.
