Book Fair to end on April 12

The Amar Ekushey Book Fair will conclude on April 12 instead of April 13 due to the rising trend of coronavirus infection and death.

State Minister for Cultural Affairs KM Khalid came up with the information on Saturday (April 10) noon.

The decision to end the book fair came at a time when the government is considering imposing strict lockdown across the country from April 14.

Faisal Hasan, public relations officer at the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, confirmed this to risingbd.
