Hey Jayantha, Biswarup,
Do you think a letter from the foundation or chapter will help? Or maybe if Hisham speaks with the GUILD office directly? I'm just thinking of various ways to work around this. This is a great opportunity for us to do a massive outreach in Kolkata and it will be a pity if we loose it. I'll be more than happy to help in anyway possible. Please let me know.
Thanks Nitika

Hi all.
Biswarupda and myself went to GUILD office regarding our stall allocation at Book fair, but they still not not confirming our stall. We met Mr. Ramen Guha, senior member, the Guild and he was requested to comes in after 15th Jan for Stall distribution.
So there are some red-tape for stall booking with GUILD, the organizer. We are still finding some way out to get our Wikipedia stall. But they have demand unacceptable amount Rs 2,00,000 ($ 4000) for our stall. We submitted one letter in Bengali for concession for our Stall to GUILD (PFA).
Our community fell that we are shootout this matter during this time frame. We are trying to contact our local IT Minister, Govt of West Bengal, Mr. Partha Chatterjee, to resolve this issue smoothly.
