Ekushey Book Fair 2021 to be held virtually

The next Amar Ekushey Book Fair will be organised virtually to prevent the transmission of coronavirus as the country prepares to tackle a possible second wave of Covid-19.

Book fair committee's member secretary Dr Jalal Ahmed said the traditional fair, organised every year by the Bangla Academy in February, would not be held at the Academy premises next year.

Many events have been called off or held virtually this year amid the coronavirus pandemic which struck the country in March this year.
