India, Bangladesh to hold home secretary-level talks tomorrow

November 15, 2015 09:06

Cattle smuggling and illegal infiltration are top on the agenda for the Indo-Bangla home secretary-level talks beginning tomorrow, which come close on the heels of deportation of ULFA leader Anup Chetia from the neighbouring country.

Union home secretary Rajiv Mehrishi is expected to raise the issue of cattle smuggling to Bangladesh with his counterpart Mohammad Haque Khan and seek cooperation from that country to completely halt it.

According to an official estimate, smuggling of cattle to Bangladesh has come down by more than 70 per cent, resulting in a sharp increase in the price of beef in Bangladesh.
