Mamata confirms Dhaka visit, arrives Jun 5

The chief minister of the Indian state of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, on Saturday said she would visit Bangladesh on June 5 and return home on June 6 after the signing of the Land Boundary Agreement, reports United News of Bangladesh.
The tour plan indicates that she would be visiting Bangladesh separately as Indian prime minister Narendra Modi is scheduled for June 6 to arrive in Dhaka on a two-day state visit.
On May 28, the state’s education and parliamentary affairs minister, Partha Chatterjee, first broke the news that Mamata would accompany Narendra Modi on his Dhaka trip, according to Indian media outlet DNA.
‘I will be reaching Bangladesh on June 5 and will be back on June 6 after the signing of the Land Boundary Agreement,’ Mamata told reporters at the state secretariat in Kolkata.
Parliament had recently passed the constitution amendment bill seeking to settle India’s 41-year-old border issue with Bangladesh.
The legislation would operationalise the 1974 India-Bangladesh Land Boundary agreement that provides for exchange of 161 enclaves adversely held by the two countries.
