Ekushey book fair, the country's largest book festival, is getting bigger every year in terms of participating publication houses, number of new books unveiled at the fair as well as sales.

This year the Amar Ekushey Boi Mela will be bigger in terms of participation of publishing houses, say the fair organisers.

Authorities of Amar Ekushey Book Fair in Dhaka close down a book stall on charge of displaying a book that reportedly hurts religious sentiments.

Ekushey book fair is being held at the Bangla Academy premises and Suhrawardy Udyan.

There is a long history of Pakistan's efforts to deny its guilt and stop the trial and punishment of the ones involved in the genocide in 1971.

We appreciate the move by Bangla Academy to provide security to the Amar Ekushey Grontho Mela through a number of measures including the setting up of two Rab camps...

Law enforcers will provide “special security” to writers, bloggers and visitors at the Ekushey Book Fair if they ask for it, the Dhaka Metropolitan Police says.

Considering security a major issue, Bangla Academy has taken all-out measures to prevent any untoward incident during the month-long Amar Ekushey Boi Mela beginning tomorrow.

Police say the road in front of Bangla Academy where blogger Avijit Roy was killed last year was not adequately lit.
