The ISPR said that these talks are held alternatively in Pakistan and India, adding that both border guarding forces will discuss professional matters related to border management.

“In order to avoid losses to innocent civilian lives and properties the delegation will discuss issues pertaining to unprovoked ceasefire violations, smuggling and safe/early return of inadvertent border crossers,” the ISPR said.

In the border talks being held in New Delhi from September 9 to September 12, the Indian side will be represented by the Indian BSF Director General Devendra Kumar Pathak.

The Pakistani delegation during talks with Indian border authorities will take up the issue of unprovoked Indian firing along the LoC and the Working Boundary. The issue of the implementation of the 2003 ceasefire agreement will be raised at the meeting.

The Indian BSF personnel have committed more than 75 ceasefire violations at the LoC and Working Boundary during July-August 2015, the Punjab Rangers said on September 4.
