The Bangla Academy has announced nine recipients for the Bangla Academy Literary Award 2025, recognising writers across eight categories. Reacting to the announcement, poet Mohon Raihan said that he was unaware his name had been included on the list. “I didn’t even know whether my name was on the award list. However, this year the fair did not begin on Feb 1 due to the 13th parliamentary election. The awards will be formally presented by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman at the inauguration of the Ekushey Book Fair on Feb 26.
