The 35th national poetry festival (Jatiya Kabita Utsab) is likely to begin on March 18, the day of starting book fair, this year.
“Every year we hold the festival at the beginning of February. This year, we are thinking to commence the festival from March 18 considering the pandemic situation,” President of Jatiya Kabita Parishad (JKP) Dr Mohammad Somad told BSS. Jatiya Kabita Parishad (JKP) organizes the two-day festival every year on the central library premises of the Dhaka University.
