on our side and see the facts on the ground. We have nothing to hide,”
BSF DG Subhash Joshi told PTI news agency.Joshi, who led the delegation at the bi-annual talks, said it had been
decided to introduce more non-lethal weapons to reduce casualties.“It is a difficult situation when we decide to arm our men with
non-lethal weapons…we have also decided to work for better procedures
for use of the non-lethal weapons,” he said.
