On the second day of the 47th International Kolkata Book Fair, on Friday, 19th January, the stall of the ‘Dure Kothao Publication’ (Stall 119) was inaugurated. Anupam Halder, a photographer and joint commissioner of the West Bengal government’s finance department, officially inaugurated the book stall.
In this context, Anupam Halder said, ‘Printed books cannot be ignored even in the digital era. Because the passion of book lovers around books will not decrease. I think book lovers come to the book fair every year with that emotion. And this year’s book fair is also special to me because, in addition to the books of the geniuses, the 25 photographs displayed at stall number 119 were taken by my camera.’
