DHAKA, Jan 3, 2020 (BSS) – The period of the ongoing Dhaka International

premises in the city’s Sher-e-Bangla Nagar area.
The businessmen earlier demanded of the government to extend the tenure of
the fair since it was closed for three days on January 10 and 31 and February
1.
Following the demand, the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) had initially
extended the timeframe of the fair till February 4. But, with the latest
extension, the DITF will now continue till February 6.
Earlier like the previous years, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated
the month-long DITF on January 1 this year.
