This edition of the Internationally famous Kolkata Book Fair couldnt unviel its full potential amidst the turmoil between literature and environement. The Environmentalist protest against the fair, to take place in the conventional long plcae, the Kolkata Maidan, at the heart of the city. Their point of validation being the fact that after the Fair gets over, the Book Fair Guild dont pay a heed to the garbage heap the place and the grounds become.
The epitome of sucess and fame the book had reached, such a huge place is always required and any other alternative, followinf the Indain Army's intervention in the matter also, Park Circus Maidan couldnt suit the needs. Many names like the Yuva Bharati Krirangan periphery (Venue of last year's Book Fair) and also other places like the Netaji Indoor Stadium is also proposed. When the Park Circus maidan couldnt suffice the requirement followed by the Calcutta Hugh Court order against the fair tio take place in such places, many writers like Sunil Gangopadhyay and even the WB Chief Minsiter had showed concerns to find out an alternative!
Lets see whats the fate of the Internationally famous Kolkata Book Fair, with its 2008's edition under jeopardy!
