Columnist Hassan Nisar said book fairs promoted the reading culture and needed to be a routine.
He also said book fairs should continue for a longer duration and not just for three days. Journalist Sohail Warraich said the youth needed to read books on a variety of subjects so that they could form more informed views.
Poet Wasi Shah and MPA Ashraf Sohna were also present.
