India and Bangladesh will start a major project to maintain and repair damaged pillars along the 4,096-km long Indo-Bangla border, said India Border Security Force (BSF) DG on Friday. The border guard forces of the two countries will take care of the pillars on an “odd-even basis,” reports The Indian Express. Confirming the matter, India BSF DG Sharma said BGB has got an “in-principle approval” for conducting the task. Sharma said: “We have been maintaining [border] pillars on the Pakistan side. Because of lack of maintenance, they [border pillars] are not in good condition…,” he added.
