The DG level talks between India and Pakistan border guarding forces will take place in New Delhi on Wednesday. A 16-member delegation headed by Pakistan Rangers Director General (Punjab) Maj Gen Umar Farooq Burki will travel to Attari-Wagah border tomorrow and later fly down from Amritsar to participate in the 5 day talks with the Border Security Force.<br/><br/> The Indian delegation will be led by DG BSF Devendra Kumar Pathak. The Ceasefire violations in Jammu and Kashmir, infiltration, intrusion in Rann of Kutch and smuggling are among the key issues likely to raised by India. <br/><br/>Pakistan had last month sent confirmation and agenda for the talks despite it calling off the meeting of the NSAs of the two countries a fortnight ago. The NAS level were called off following India's stand that Kashmiri separatist leaders would not be allowed to meet Pakistani NSA Sartaj Aziz during his visit to New Delhi. The decision on meeting of NSAs and heads of border guards was taken during talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif in Ufa, Russia in July this year.
