Business Fair Extended by a Week
Patna: February 2, 2008
 The administration in Patna on Saturday announced its decision to extend the National Business Expo Fair organized by the National Industrial and Consumer Exhibition (NICE) and Bihar Women's Industries Association by a week with it now ending on February 11 instead of February 4.
The announcement was made at a joint press conference addressed by the NICE director Shabbir Ahmed and fair organizer Rishi Raj who said the decision to extend the fair by one week came after losing 3-4 days due to the recent Bihar bandh called by the opposition parties and rain and chill in last few days.
Since the fair reopened last week, it has seen a surge in the number of visitors encouraging the organizers to keep the fair alive for an extra week without penalizing the vendors for an extra week rent, Ahmed said.
