India, Bangladesh close to solve border disputes

New Delhi, Oct 30 : India and Bangladesh will soon solve their border disputes, it has been learnt.
 
The disclosure comes after the end of the five-days bilateral border talks between the two South Asian neighbours.
 
New Delhi has requested Bangladesh to destruct over 140 Indian rebel camps that are operating from that country, the BBC said in a report.
 
Dhaka has given assurances that it will destroy bases of Harkatul Jihad Islamist militants, Indian officials said.
 
Dhaka has also requested New Delhi to hand over some 1,600 wanted criminals who are taking refuge in India.
 
The two countries share a long and porous border, and over the past decade they have regularly exchanged sporadic fire over the frontier.
 
Tension increased after India started fencing off the 4,000km border to keep out what it termed as illegal immigration and "cross-border insurgency". (ANI)
