Both forces agreed to “constructively engage respective higher authorities for concurrence of pending developmental work within 150 yards” of the international boundary.
“BSF stressed upon the agenda for early construction of Single Row Fence, which does not have defence potential and will be an important measure for curbing trans-border crimes,” the force said, with both sides agreeing to follow established procedures.
Bangladesh raised concerns about alleged illegal push-ins of Indian and Myanmar nationals by BSF, while Indian officials reiterated that infiltrators were being repatriated through mutually agreed processes.
