The meeting of the Director Generals of the Border Guard Force (BGB) of Bangladesh and the Border Guard Force (BSF) of India has been postponed.
This information has been revealed in a report by the Indian news agency PTI.
According to the report, the meeting was supposed to be held in India next month (November). But due to a change in Bangladesh's plans, the meeting has been postponed.
The meeting of the Director Generals of the Border Guard Forces of Bangladesh and India is held twice a year. This time, the meeting will be held in the Indian capital New Delhi from November 18 to 22. Moreover, this will be the first meeting between the chiefs of the two countries even after the fall of the government of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The Indian source told the news agency PTI that Bangladesh has informed about the postponement of the meeting and indicated that a new time will be fixed for the meeting soon.
In all, this will be the 55th meeting between the border guards of India and Bangladesh. Apart from the Directors General of the two forces, the meeting is also attended by senior officials from the ministries of home and foreign affairs, the anti-narcotics agency, customs and other executive agencies. The last such meeting was held in Dhaka in March.
A BSF official told PTI that the situation on the Bangladesh-India border is normal after the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government. However, field units have been on high alert since August 5.
