Ekushey Book Fair will be held at Suhrawardy Udyan: Farooki

Cultural Affairs Adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki on Wednesday said the Amar Ekushey Book Fair 2025 will be held at Suhrawardy Udyan in Dhaka.

He said this in reply to a question from the reporters after a meeting with the Bangladesh Group Theatre Federation at the ministry.

The Ministry of Housing and Public Works recently in a letter asked the Bangla Academy to arrange the book fair on its own premises instead of Suhrawardy Udyan.

In this regard, Farooki said they were working about it prior to a report published on several newspapers and the cultural affairs secretary has talked to secretaries of both Housing Ministry and Liberation War Affairs Ministry regarding the issue.

“I can tell you that we are going to have a positive outcome. We hope the book fair will be held on the venue where it was taking place before.”
