Imphal, November 29:
Taking note of the numerous controversies surrounding beauty pageants in the recent past and the failure of the organisers to adhere to the norms laid down earlier, the Manipuri Students' Federation has announced that hence-forth it will ban all Miss Manipur contests.
Referring to beauty contests organised earlier by TAPRO, FABECO NACHOM etc, the student body in a statement said that most of them ended up in controversies with charges of favouritism, forfeiture of prizes etc.
MSF intervened in an event organised by NACHOM and certain guidelines were agreed upon.
However NACHOM failed to stick by the agreement, said MSF, adding until the impasse with NACHOM is resolved, the ban on beauty contest will continue.
