New Delhi, September 26:
India will furnish a fresh list of 195 camps of northeastern insurgents existing in Bangladesh and ask Dhaka to shut these down besides deporting 126 terrorists as the BSF and BDR chiefs meet here on Tuesday.
Director Generals of BSF and BDR, during the four-day bi-annual meeting, will also discuss modalities for operationalising coordinated patrolling which has been agreed upon by both the countries during the recent Home Secretary-level talks.
India has observed a rise in anti-India terrorist activities in Bangladesh and has prepared a fresh list of 195 training camps being run by north eastern insurgents in that country, official sources told PTI here.
The list, with their exact locations, will be handed over to BDR at the conference in which officials from ministries of External Affairs and Home will also participate, they said.
Bangladesh has been denying their existence on its soil.
The camps in the list are those run by ULFA, National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT), All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF), National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak/Muivah (NSCN-IM), People's Liberation Army (PLA), National Democratic Front of Bodoland, Muslim United Liberation Tiger of Assam, Achik National Volunteer Council, Chakma National Liberation Front and Dima Halam Daoga.
The Indian side, to be led by BSF DG Ajai Raj Sharma, will seek to build pressure on Dhaka to ease down.
It will also seek deportation of 127 insurgents present in Bangladesh, including some top leaders like Anup Chetia, Babul Sarma, Sanjiv Deb Burman.
BSF will convey India's concerns over the recent rise in smuggling of arms and infiltration of terrorists active in Jammu and Kashmir, the sources said.
In this context, attention will be drawn to the seizure of a huge quantity of arms and ammunition in Chittagong a few months back, which is suspected to have been destined for Jammu and Kashmir.
The issue of pumping of fake currency through Bangladesh border will also be raised by the Indian side besides smuggling of cigarettes and CFCC gas cylinders, the sources said.
Also on the agenda are other trans-border crimes like kidnapping for ransom in North East by terrorists based in Bangladesh, cattle-lifting and trafficking of women, they said.
Continued illegal migration, which has been a major cause of concern in India, will also be part of the discussions.
