Home Secretary R K Singh will also discuss with his Bangladeshi counterpart Manjur Hussain issues related to infiltration, smuggling of goods and human trafficking, official sources said.

During his visit, Singh will also travel to Akhaura located along the border with Tripura before returning to Dhaka for continuing his dialogue with the Bangladeshi delegation.

At Akhaura, both the sides will review the work of the construction of a new Land Customs Station (LCS) which is being set up by India.

Both the sides will also discuss issues related to smuggling of narcotics, identification of vulnerable illegal crossing spots along the border and progress of confidence building measures between the border guarding forces and civilian authorities of the two countries.

A meeting of Joint Working Group at the level of officials was held today to do spadework for the secretary- level talks.
