Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin has inaugurated the 46th Chennai Book Fair and give away the Kalaignar Porkizhi annual literature awards at the YMCA grounds near Nandanam in Chennai on Friday.
The chief minister will inaugurate the event at 5 pm. Organised by the BookSellers and Publishers Association of South India (BAPASI), the Chennai Book Fair will have about 1,000 stalls this year. The fair will remain open from 11 am to 8.30 pm every day.
It is expected that many writers and publishers from other countries, who were not able to visit the fair in the last two years due to Covid-19 restrictions, will turn up in big numbers this year.
