The Union Cabinet on Tuesday approved Constitution 119th Amendment Bill on the land boundary agreement between India and Bangladesh.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Under the pact, India and Bangladesh will exchange several enclaves which are under each other's adverse possession. The agreement has to be ratified by Parliament through a constitution amendment bill.

The bill was placed in the Rajya Sabha in 2013 and subsequently referred to a select committee, headed by Shashi Tharoor of Congress, which unanimously recommended implementation of the deal.

The Bill is expected to be place in the Rajya Sabha for consideration and passage this week.
