Not virtually, Amar Ekushey Boi Mela-2021 will be held as usual from March 18 after a long delay due to the coronavirus pandemic. Habibullah Sirajee, director general of Bangla Academy, confirmed the date yesterday. He said, “The book fair will start on March 18. I can’t say more at this moment.” “We will give details on the duration of the book fair. Many people were in confusion, so I am just confirming the date. “Our designers will make design of locations of the stalls, considering the coronavirus situation,” he added.
Usually, the book fair begins on February 1 each year.
The decision of holding the book fair at the usual venue was made earlier, but the date was not confirmed.
