However, a free wheelchair service by the Switch Bangladesh Foundation has ensured that enjoying the Amar Ekushey Book Fair 2019 is not one of them. “It used to be that I had to check if my friends were free if I wanted to visit the fair. “When we see someone elderly struggling to walk, we go to them and offer our wheelchair service. If they knew about it, they could come to the book fair and enjoy it like others. The free wheelchair service is available at the TSC Circle, which is the area from where vehicles are barred from entering the book fair premises.
