BSF delegates postpone border conference on ‘aircraft complications’
The six-day border conference was scheduled to begin Sunday morning. But it was postponed because Rakesh was unable to come to Asthana due to a BSF plane failure.
At that time it was said that all international flights from Dhaka to Delhi and Kolkata were closed due to the epidemic and it was decided that the BSF delegation would bring its own plane. But in the ‘end time’, there was a ‘technical problem’ on the BSF plane.
Rakesh Asthana leads this first border conference. He joined BSF as Managing Director last August.
Rakesh Asthana, an officer in the Indian Police cadre, has previously served as a special director at the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
