A gathering of poets and writers was held in the district on the occasion of the 'Rangpur Literature Festival and Little Mag Fair-2026'. The festival was organised to mark the 13th founding anniversary of 'Firedekha', a literary, cultural and social organisation of Rangpur, and was inaugurated on Friday through various programmes in front of the Carmichael College administrative building.
Carmichael College Principal Professor Dr. Md. Abul Hossain Mondal inaugurated the festival, while former additional secretary and poet Kali Ranjan Barman hoisted the national flag. Following the inauguration, a colorful procession was brought out, and later discussions, seminars, and poetry readings were held at the college's Annadamohan auditorium with the participation of over a one hundred and fifty poets, writers, and authors from all eight divisions of the country.
During the event, the cover of Firedekha's special publication 'Nagar Bhabana: Rangpur' was unveiled. Throughout the day-long programme, various sessions featured discussions, paper presentations, and poetry recitations by invited guests, editors, researchers, and fiction writers.
