New Delhi, August 25

India will hold Director General (DG)-level biannual border talks in Dhaka next month with Bangladeshi counterpart.

The two sides are expected to discuss hosts of issues, including crimes on the frontiers and other security challenges, BSF officials said.

The talks will be held between the DG, Border Security Force (BSF), and his counterpart in Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) from September 13-18 at Pilkhana, the headquarters of the Bangladeshi force in Dhaka. Newly appointed BSF DG Rakesh Asthana will lead the Indian delegation.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
