The Book Fair 2025 organising committee has also decided to reduce the pavilion sizes of three publishing houses, including Anyaprokash and Agamee Prokashoni. In addition, several other publishers have had their pavilions cancelled and will instead receive 3- or 4-unit stalls, according to a decision by the organising committee. Speaking to bdnews24.com, Gani said: “The fair committee made this decision under the influence of certain publishers driven by malice. He told bdnews24.com: “My publishing house carries books by two advisors to the current government. In the context of this political shift, the month-long book fair will begin on Feb 1 with the theme: “July Uprising: Building a New Bangladesh.”Like previous years, this year’s book fair will also be held at the Bangla Academy premises and Suhrawardy Udyan, with preparations already under way.
