Home secretaries of Bangladesh, India meet today

Bangladesh will again press for handing over its criminals hiding in India as the home secretaries of the two countries kick off a two-day meeting in Dhaka this morning.
An Indian delegation, led by its Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta, arrived in Dhaka yesterday afternoon to attend the 9th home secretary-level talks.
Killings on the borders, smuggling of illicit drugs, trafficking of women and children and the issue of insurgency will figure high at the talks, beginning at 10:00am at the Sheraton Hotel.
The two sides exchanged lists of criminals at the director general (DG)-level border conference between Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) and Indian border security forces (BSF) held in Dhaka recently.
Before the talks, Indian Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta will call on Bangladesh Home Secretary Abdul Karim at his secretariat office, officials said.
Apart from bilateral issues, the unresolved border-related issues, including Tin Bigha corridor and demarcation of the boundary, will also be discussed.
The Indian home secretary is scheduled to meet Home Adviser MA Matin tomorrow.
