Fatalities along border will be 'made to reduce significantly', BSF DG tells Bangladesh
India TodayBSF Director General Rakesh Asthana said on Saturday that instances of firing along the India-Bangladesh international border will be "made to reduce significantly". While addressing his counterparts Border Guard Bangladesh in Dhaka on the last day of the four-day bi-annual talks, the BSF chief said apprehension or deaths of criminals along the border are irrespective of nationalities. "BSF personnel fire with non-lethal weapons only in self-defence when they are surrounded by a large number of miscreants armed with 'dah', sticks etc, and their lives are endangered," BSF DG Rakesh Asthana told his Bangladeshi counterpart Maj General Shafeenul Islam. During the bi-annual talks, India's BSF and Bangladeshi BGB also decided to share information either through formal or informal channels to curb cross-border smuggling of narcotics, fake Indian currency notes, cattle, arms, explosives along with human trafficking and activities of Indian Insurgent groups.
