BSF usually fires when the BDR tries to provide cover to illegal immigrants who cross over to India for economic sanctuary. BDR fires at Indian positions when they see activity on the Indian side claiming that it violates the treaty. Bangladesh has refused to allow border fencing within Indian Territory to stop illegal migration.
When India retaliates, Bangladesh cries foul and accuse India of high-handedness, which does occur on the diplomatic and military interaction. It would be beneficial for India to build its fencing and camps some ½ kilometer inside Indian Territory but maintain border patrol positions at current levels.
