A seven-day mango fair began at the Green Plaza on the Rajshahi City Corporation premises Wednesday evening.
Rajshahi mayor AHM Kharizzaman Liton, as chief guest, inaugurated the Rajshahi Mango Fair 2011.
The mayor on the occasion said the present government had allocated fund in the national budget to build a mango research centre in Rajshahi.
He expressed hope that the foundation work for the centre would begin very soon and it would develop many other verities of mangos. 'This initiative would help achieve financial affluence' of farmers as well,' he said.
Among others, Rajshahi divisional police commissioner Mohammad Obaidullah, Rajshahi deputy commissioner Delwar Bakth, RCC secretary AKM Abdus Salam, also the member secretary of the fair committee, spoke at the inaugural session.
AKM Abdus Salam told New Age that the fair would continue till June 21 and seminar and cultural programme would be held in every evening.
