SHILLONG: The plan of the Border Security Force (BSF) to have a regular retreat ceremony along with  Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB) at Dawki border point  will be further delayed.

An official of BSF said that the BGB   first wanted  to create necessary infrastructure like road on their side of the border since the road connectivity in that area is not so good.

The BSF has been ready for holding retreat ceremony since long time however there has been continuous delays on the part of BGB to start the ceremony

It may be mentioned that Dawki is already one of the favourite tourist destinations in Meghalaya.  The place has a border check point and it is used by many tourists to cross over to India as well as Bangladesh.
Apart from the retreat ceremony, BSF is also coming up with other infrastructure for tourists such as a cafeteria, places to sit. The border sentinel force will also exhibit its weaponry and screen movie on the force for tourists.

On the other hand, the BSF also has drawn up plans to develop tourist related infrastructures in Kilapara outpost in Dalu
