"During the meetings, both the countries agreed to enhance cooperation in border management by way of a coordinated border management plan, increased joint patrolling for reducing crimes being committed by criminals and smugglers," the release said.

It said that the two countries agreed on "higher vigil on the border by deployment of troops of Bangladesh in unguarded border areas of Bangladesh, particularly along the borders facing Tripura and Mizoram."

The release said the two countries have also agreed to resolve the issues concerning fishermen drifting inadvertently across the maritime boundaries and, in a gesture of goodwill, started sending back such fishermen with their boats.

The also release said that the Indian delegation appreciated steps taken to act against people carrying fake Indian currency notes and action taken against the "Indian Insurgent Groups" (IIGs) which take shelter in the bordering areas of Bangladesh.

"Both the countries also agreed to act against the criminals engaged in human trafficking from Bangladesh to India and other countries," the release said.

It said that the meetings of deputy commissioners/district magistrates of the districts bordering India and Bangladesh have been resumed after a long time.
