Briefing reporters on the eve of their departure to Dhaka for the two-day talks, Joint Secretary (Northeast) Rajeev Agarwal and Joint Secretary (Border Management) H S Brahma said New Delhi would draw Dhaka's attention to alleged links of some Bangladeshi nationals to the terrorist attacks.

While they refrained from identifying specific terrorist incidents, sources said the involvement of Bangladeshis had been traced back to the militant strike at Ayodhya this year and to the July 11 Mumbai train bombings.

The Indian delegation will be led by Home Secretary Vinod Kumar Duggal while his counterpart Sarfarraz Hossain will head the Bangladesh team.

During the talks, the two sides will discuss the deportation of insurgents from northeast India, including Ulfa leader Anup Chetia and about putting an end to illegal migration, they said.

India also intends to take up the issues of recent skirmishes along the border, border fencing and disputed conclaves in both countries besides finalising an outpost where a ceremonial retreat similar to the one at the Wagah border with Pakistan could be held, the officials said. In addition, both sides will discuss on setting up of eight integrated check posts along the border and arrangements for officials to visit the conclaves.

Other issues to figure during the parleys are proper implementation and understanding of the 1975 border guidelines to allow border fencing and development work to be undertaken without any hindrance, they added.

India will press for constructing the fence within 150 yards from the border, which they insist is a defensive mechanism to facilitate development.

Bangladesh, however, objects to this and maintains that both sides should strictly adhere to the 1975 border guidelines on the issue. Under these guidelines, no construction can be undertaken within 150 yards of the international border, Bangladesh officials said.
