Overview

  • BSF Director General Daljit Singh Chawdhary will lead the Indian delegation, with BGB Director General Major General Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman Siddiqui heading the Bangladesh side.
  • The BSF says the agenda covers action against Indian Insurgent Groups, prevention of trans-border crimes, protection against assaults on personnel and Indian civilians, and implementation of the Coordinated Border Management Plan.
  • Border infrastructure and single-row fence construction are set for discussion, with officials reporting BGB has blocked works at several locations and about a dozen sites remain unresolved within the 150‑metre guideline.
  • This is the second DG-level round since Bangladesh’s August 2024 political change, following a Feb. 17–20 meeting in New Delhi that agreed to joint inspections of disputed fence sites.
  • Official data shows 864.48 km of the frontier remains unfenced, including 174.51 km deemed non‑feasible, and the Dhaka conference was moved from July to August for administrative reasons.
