The 57th Director General–level border conference between Bangladesh’s Border Guard (BGB) and India’s Border Security Force (BSF) concluded in New Delhi on June 11, 2026, without any tangible progress on Bangladesh’s seven major concerns. Despite Dhaka’s expectations for realistic solutions, no effective commitments emerged on issues such as border killings, forced push-ins, drug and arms smuggling, or the presence of anti-Bangladesh armed groups inside India. The four-day meeting, which began on June 8, was the first under Bangladesh’s new BNP-led government and carried high diplomatic and security importance.
Bangladesh’s delegation, led by Major General Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman Siddiqui, raised eight key agendas, including ending border killings and push-ins. However, India’s side, led by BSF Director General Praveen Kumar, responded mainly with general diplomatic language and avoided firm pledges. Dhaka expressed frustration as India denied allegations of illegal push-ins and drug production near the border while offering no concrete action against armed separatist groups allegedly operating from Indian territory.
The conference ended with growing public discontent in Bangladesh, as analysts warned that India’s lack of commitment could prolong border tensions and force Dhaka to rely solely on BGB vigilance for security.
