Senior BSF and BGB officials, besides SPs from the border districts would also attend the meeting.
It was informed that the issue of border fencing would be given top priority during the meeting with both sides slated to work out a strategy to clear the bottlenecks for early completion of the Indo-Bangla border fencing work in the Meghalaya sector.
It is expected that the Bangladeshi delegation would raise the issue of spilling over of anti-India insurgency activities into their territory while the Indian side would focus on smuggling and dacoity by Bangladeshi miscreants and abduction of people by Bangladeshi kidnappers, all perpetrated on Indian soil.
Decisions taken at the meeting would be drafted and submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs for necessary action.
