The Amar Ekushey Book Fair 2021 is going to continue even amid the week-long lockdown enforced to curb the spread of coronavirus.

The decision was disclosed through a notification issued on Sunday.

However, the timetable of the fair has been changed. According to the new timing, the book fair will remain open from 12noon to 5pm until further notice.

The notification also instructed everyone concerned to adhere to the hygiene rules and refrain from any activities that would put people’s health at risk.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Bangla Academy had announced that the fair would open at 3pm and close at 6:30pm on weekdays. On the weekends, however, the fair would open at 11am and close at 6:30pm.
