The month-long Dhaka International Trade Fair ends today

The 27th edition of the Dhaka International Trade Fair (DITF) came to an end today and it fetched export orders worth Tk 300 crore.

If the Met Gala is the pinnacle of western fashion, Banijjo Mela is its Bangladeshi counterpart.

Police are forcibly and illegally taking money in the name of “parking tolls” from any car using the road in front of the Dhaka International Trade Fair (DITF) in Agargaon. The road that connects Rokeya Sarani with Mirpur Road -- on which several important establishments like public schools and hospitals, including Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital, are located -- has also been made off-limits to regular traffic.

The second Dhaka International Theatre Festival is being held against the backdrop of social and political unrest.
