People from different walks of life attended the 18th Karachi International Book Fair organised by the Pakistan Publishers and Booksellers Association kicked off at Expo Centre. It would conclude on Monday.

Different sections were set up to cater to different ages and interests of book lovers. Publishers, including international exhibitors, had set up stalls in three halls of the venue.

The material ranged from religious books to works of literature and from biographies to self-help paper-packs.

On Thursday, caretaker Sindh Chief Minister (retd) Justice Maqbool Baqar called for efforts to lessen the duty on paper.

“The importance of reading books for society is known to all. Books make us aware and help us progress. Such efforts [like the fair] will develop people’s interest in reading,” he said, “I understand the problem of pricey books. Efforts should be made to lessen the duty on paper.”
