Beauty pageant put off again

Miss Nepal Beauty Pageant 2008 has been put off for the second time this year.

Under pressure from pro-Maoist women's wing, the organisers Hidden Treasure has decided to put off the pageant that was rescheduled for August 23.

The organisers have urged the protesters to resolve the dispute through dialogue.

The protesters have already met with Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal urging him to stop the show stating that by putting emphasis on physical beauty such pageants were demeaning for women. nepalnews.com Aug 20 08
