Bhubaneswar book fair from Feb. 12

BHUBANESWAR: The 14th edition of the Bhubaneswar book fair, the second biggest event of its kind in eastern India after the Kolkata book fair, would be held at the sprawling Exhibition ground here from February 12.

About 350 publishers and book sellers from across the country are expected to participate in the fair that would spread over 13 days. Nearly 200 publishers have already confirmed their participation, book fair organising committee secretary and noted journalist Barendra Krushna Dhal said.

As a tribute to two legendary litterateurs of the State whose birth centenary celebrations are on _ Mayadhar Mansingh and Bhagabati Charan Panigrahi _ the two arches of the fair would be named after them, revealed Mr. Dhal. A number of literary and cultural organisations would participate in the special literary sessions.
