In Pictures: A plant fair in Sylhet

A divisional plant fair is underway at the Alia Madrasah ground in Sylhet city. Rows of green saplings, plants laden with flowers and fruits, and neatly arranged stalls have created a festive atmosphere there.  

Organised by the forest department with support from the district administration the fair showcases fruit, forest and medicinal plant saplings. The main aim of the fair is to raise awareness about protecting the environment. Take a look at the fair in pictures taken by Anis Mahmud here:
