Safety fears cancel Miss Nepal beauty pageant - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)Posted
The organisers of the beauty pageant, Miss Nepal, have had to cancel it because of concerns about safety.
There had been opposition to the event from the women's wing of the ruling Maoist party.
They say Miss Nepal discriminates against certain ethnic groups as well as shorter and darker-skinned women.
The organisers say the contest which should have gone ahead in Kathmandu this weekend is open to all.
