MALDA, June 7: The scheduled aerial visit of Union minister for water resources, Mr Saifuddin Soz and his Bangladeshi counterpart, Major (Retired) Hafiz Uddin Ahmed, to the Indo-Bangla border areas in Malda, North Dinajpur and South Dinajpur districts on Friday has been postponed, said an irrigation official here today.The official said that the main motive behind the high-level meeting was to resolve territorial dispute between the two countries pertaining to certain rivers that regularly changed course. This in turn created problems in maintaining the zero-line of the two countries. BSF sources said that officials of the Joint River Commission from both the countries had discussed the matter in New Delhi. State irrigation officials said they would soon finalise the itinerary of both ministers.
