Agartala, Jan 18 (IBNS): Officials of India's Border Security Force (BSF) and Bangladesh's Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB) met at a frontier headquarters in the Indian state of Tripura to discuss on strengthening securities and constructing new border outpost (BOPs).
The five-day meeting took place at BSF's Tripura frontier headquarters at Shalbagan, 15 km north of Agartala. 
 
According to media reports, BGB has agreed to construct at least 10 new BOPs to strengthen security measures, check militancy and crime, and prevent trafficking across the international border. 
 
The BSF team comprised Deputy Inspector General of Panisagar sector D.K. Sharma and Teliamura Sector DIG Rajeev Sinha and senior officers while the BGB delegation was led by Colonel Sajjad Hossain.
 
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bangladesh Premier Sheikh Hasina had discussed the border issues, including curbing of border crimes and terror activities, during Modi's visit to Dhaka in June 2015.
 
Four north-eastern states of India,  Tripura (856 km), Meghalaya (443 km), Mizoram (318 km) and Assam (263 km), share an 1,880-km border with Bangladesh.
