The India International Trade Fair will be back at the Pragati Maidan from November 14 to 27, though visitors will not get to see the state pavilions and certain halls, as these have been razed to make way for the proposed International Exhibition-cum-Convention Centre (IECC). AK Vashist, GM (security) of India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO), that organises the trade fair, said this year only a little over half the area will be in commission. All the state pavilions, and certain buildings including the ‘Hall of Nations’, have been demolished, squeezing the space for the fair. Areas where construction work is ongoing have been barricaded off, and will not be accessible during the trade fair. Four days before the fair opens for the public, tickets will also be available at metro stations.
