This year’s Ekushey-2021 Loving Book Fair booth is known to be not being installed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The Director General (DG) of the Bangla Academy, poet Habibullah Siraji, said a council meeting was held on Thursday to organize this year’s book fair.
The Managing Director of Bangla Academy told NTV Online on Friday evening: “It may not be possible to hold a fair by setting up a book stand on February 1 due to the emergence of the coronavirus.” So, with the virtualization idea, we will make a decision in consultation with the publisher, author and concerned authorities when the situation becomes normal. That’s what we think ‘.
Poet Habibullah Siraji added: “We have not yet informed the ministry of any official decision. We have commented, under what circumstances will the book fair take place. We had a meeting yesterday afternoon. We will announce our decision earlier this week in the form of a notice.
“After informing the ministry of our proposal, it will be up to him to decide,” he added.
