India will raise the issues of illegal immigration from Bangladesh and growing ISI activities in that country directed against it when heads of border forces of the two countries meet in Dhaka from Sunday.
Trans-border crimes will also figure at the five-day biennial conference of Director Generals of the BSF and BDR," official sources said in Delhi on Friday.
The Indian side, to be led by BSF Director General Ajai Raj Sharma and including officials from the ministries of external affairs and home, will also seek to know from Bangladesh whether any progress had been made on its demand for closure of 99 terrorist training camps existing there, they said.

Illegal immigration, a major cause of concern in India, will be the main issue of discussion, particularly in the backdrop of a week-long border stand-off between the two countries after the BSF tried to push back 213 illegal Bangladeshi immigrants earlier this year.
Bangladesh has so far refused to accept India's contention that millions of its nationals were illegally staying in this country and is blocking efforts to deport them back.
"There is a difference in perception and efforts are on to sort it out," a source said.
