The director general of Indian Border Security Force (BSF) said on Friday they are endeavouring to bring border killings down to zero.

At a press conference at Bangladesh Border Guard (BGB) headquarters, Raman Srivastava presented data showing that the BSF had killed 55 Bangladeshi nationals in 2009, 32 in 2010 and only seven this year.

Terming the killings ‘unfortunate’, he claimed that Indian border guards opened fire in self defence, resulting in the casualties.

The visiting BSF chief suggested that civilians steer clear of the border line at night to avoid such incidents.

He was speaking at the joint news conference on the concluding day of a five-day border talks with their Bangladesh counterpart.

:lol: :lol:
 
The BSF are sensible men too . If they can avoid unnecessary deaths ,they will. Good to see them make such endeavors to transform the Indo-BD border into a peaceful one .
 
BSF should not care about that. They should infact Concentrate that by Next Year Zero Illegal Bangladeshis can step into India
 
2011 is not over yet dudes. They will make up for the drop in death count, somehow! :D

Edit: So how actually is the murder count going down? Less people taking strolls across the border? Or is BSF top brass trying to discipline the trigger happy animals? Guess it's the latter, no? Looking at the consistent drop in death count, seems more like a concerted effort by GoI and BSF to stop the cross-border shootings.
 
No idea how reliable the news is. But IF it is true, then glad tidings. Hopefully, as someone mentioned, the casualty should touch 0.


Cheers!!!
 
Here once again indian lie is exposed. Until August, 2011 indian BSF killed 21 Bangladeshis, injured 51 and abducted 6.

BSF keeps killing in border despite assurance for an end
India’s Border Security Force keeps killing unarmed Bangladeshi civilians by shooting and in other manners in view of a drop in the use of lethal weapons despite repeated assurances by Indian authorities to stop such killing in the border, rights activists said.

The rights activists alleged that the Indian guards had reportedly started using non-lethal weapons in sensitive border areas but they had already changed the pattern of such killing to ‘check their borders’ particularly the ‘barbed-wire fences.’

‘The BSF has now resorted to medieval tactic of killing Bangladeshis by stoning and stabbing and hitting them with rifle ***** or running speeding boats over them,’ rights watchdog Odhikar’s secretary Adilur Rahman told New Age.

The Indian border guards, according to Odhikar, killed 21 Bangladeshis, injured 51 and abducted 6 between January and August in the frontiers.
