Chaos at New Delhi Book Fair

Chaos at New Delhi Book Fair

The New Delhi World Book Fair 2026 had a lot of people visiting because it was free to enter.

However, things got very messy on the last day.

People were pushing and climbing on shelves to grab books, and some even stole books.

This behavior surprised many because book lovers are usually seen as calm and well-mannered.

Some people suggested that the fair should have charged an entry fee to prevent such chaos.

The fair had more visitors than usual, with over 2 million people attending.

Videos of the chaos went viral on social media, and many people criticized the behavior of the visitors.
