Imphal, May 25 2018:
The Manipur Library Association has opposed the name "Imphal Book Fair" to be held at DM College of Science from May 26 to June 3 .
This program is co-organized by the National Book Trust, Directorate of Education (U) and Sahid Madhumangal Foundation.
MALA expressed gratitude to the organisers for the books fair but did not agree in calling the fair 'Imphal Book Fair' .
Imphal Book Fair is the name given to the fair co-organized with the Raja Ram Mohan Roy Library Foundation, Kolkata which have been held since 1991 and celebrated its Silver Jubilee in 2016 after completing 25 years.
The use this name by different organisations time and again will cause confusion amongst the public, said MALA and added that it will take up legal action if the name is not changed.
