"From now onwards, we would exchange information and other details regularly with our Bangladesh counterparts through e-mails and telephones to resolve local and petty problems," West Tripura district magistrate Abhishek Singh told reporters.
He said: "Problems that could not be solved between the district magistrates and deputy commissioners would be referred to the higher authorities."
