Total 34000 visitors paid the visit to the book fair. Almost 4550 came to Ahmadiyya Book Stall and benefited from the literature. Approximately 200 discussed Islam and Ahmadiyyat in detail. A big exhibition containing 30 different translations of Quran were placed on the stall. It proved to be a big attraction for the visitors.
