PATNA: On Day 2 of the 18th Patna Book Fair on Saturday, people flocked to the fair venue in large numbers.
"About 25,000 book lovers have visited the fair so far," the fair organising committee convener Amit Jha said.
However, only about 70% book stalls were opened till Saturday evening. Jha hoped that all stalls would be open by Sunday and the fair premises would be buzzing with book lovers.
Though dust is kicking up inside the fair premises, it has failed to douse the enthusiasm of book lovers.
