The two security forces - the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) and the Armed Police Force (APF) - will be discussing measures to curb trans-frontier crimes and exchange of critical information, a statement by SSB said.
“The talks at the level of two heads of the forces serve as a crucial platform for both forces to engage in discussions on border-related matters. Led by their respective leaders, the SSB and APF delegations aim to strengthen the co-ordination between the two border guarding forces for more effective management of the open and unfenced Indo-Nepal Border,” the statement said.
The focus of the meeting shall be on the development of effective mechanisms to collaboratively combat trans-border crimes and facilitate the prompt exchange of critical information between the forces.
