SHILLONG: The joint retreat ceremony of the Border Security Force (BSF) and the Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB) at Dawki will be delayed further as the neighbouring country is not prepared for the ceremony.
A BSF official said that there is no progress in the plan as Bangladesh is not ready for the ceremony since they don’t have good communication facilities on their side.
According to the official, there are problems even from Indian side as there is no space for the visitors to sit and BSF needs some land for constructing viewers’ gallery since large number of people will be visiting the Border Out Post to witness the drill as and when it takes place.
) It was also informed that even now, BSF on its side is hoisting the flag everyday but it needs land for viewers’ gallery and other infrastructure facilities which need to be developed.
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 facilities for tourists such as a cafeteria, places to sit and others.
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 at Kilapara outpost in Dalu.
