The discussions between the two forces focused on effective border management, measures to prevent illegal crossings, combating cross-border crimes, and fostering a secure and peaceful environment in the region, a statement by the BSF South Bengal Frontier said.
The meeting assumes significance in the wake of recent instances of BGB raising objections to BSF's efforts to build border fences in certain areas along the Indo-Bangladesh border.
Pawar emphasised the importance of mutual cooperation in ensuring the stability and prosperity of border regions, while Kabir expressed the BGB's readiness to work closely with their Indian counterparts to resolve issues amicably, the statement added.
