(Express photo) Five hundred books in various languages, all focusing on environment, have been put on display in the hall. Book lovers, inquisitive young minds and languid strollers could all be seen walking about stalls on the second day of World Book Fair 2018 at Pragati Maidan. We wanted to use the book fair as a platform to promote awareness on environment,” says Baldeo Bhai Sharma, chairman of the organising body, the National Book Trust. We came here primarily because the theme of the fair is environment and it would be useful for her,” says Rao. However, the shelves on display at the fair remain fairly general, with no specific attention on environment.
