BGB, Myanmar cops agree to remove mines from border

Bangladesh and Myanmar will jointly work to remove land mines from their respective border areas.

Both the countries agreed to take necessary steps in this regard in a bid to establish good border management, said a press release jointly issued by Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and Myanmar Police Force (MPF) this morning.

The BGB and MPF agreed to do it for avoiding deaths and injuries due to the explosions of mines and IEDs (Improvised Explosive Device) buried on the border and its adjoining areas.
