The Dhaka Times Desk From time to time there have been incidents like firing on the Bangladesh-India border for a long time. The Indian Border Guard has again pledged not to shoot Bangladeshis at the border.
Indian forces have made this commitment in the border conference between the two forces BGB and BSF at the sector commander level. It is seen as important in fulfilling the commitment of the two countries to bring the border killings to zero.
