A mega carnival of the Bangladesh jewellery industry styled as “BAJUS Fair'' will begin on February 9 in the capital Dhaka to showcase the strength of the industry.

Some 50 traditional jewellers will take part at the three-day annual exposition of Bangladesh Jeweller’s Association (BAJUS) at the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB) in the city.

“The fair is being organised under the guidance of BAJUS president Sayem Sobhan Anvir for the second time to support implementation of Prime Minister’s Vision 2041,” Uttam Banik, chairman of the BAJUS standing committee on fair and event management, told a press conference at Bashundhara City Shopping Complex on Tuesday.
