BSF assures Sahara of steps to stop border killings

From THE NEW NATION 24 SePT 2010

Bangladesh has urged the border security force (BSF) of India to use alternative to firearms to avoid deaths of 'innocent Bangladeshi people', home secretary Abdus Sobhan Sikder has said. Home Minister Sahara Khatun made the call in a meeting.


In reply, the BSF chief assured the home minister of stopping shooting along the India-Bangladesh border. "We are considering whether something else can be used instead of bullets," he said.

Sikder said the BSF authorities were also requested to ensure that any member of the Khashia community or other Indian nationals do not move along the border with arms.

Meanwhile, the BSF also urged Bangladesh that no one should move along the border at night.
