Agartala, Feb 5 (IANS) India and Bangladesh have agreed share information and other details to curb trans-border crime, boost trade and improve people to people ties, officials said here Thursday.

The officials discussed and finalised strategies to deal with border crime, fencing and better coordination between the district administrations on both sides.
"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."
