NEW DELHI (AFP) - Miss World beauty contest organisers say they are considering holding the pageant in the disputed territory of Indian-administered Kashmir as part of a month-long series of events across India.
Control of the Muslim-majority territory is split between India and Pakistan, both of which claim it in full but administer separate portions, divided by the Line of Control.
Miss World Organization chair Julia Morley said that India will host a month-long series of events for the annual international beauty pageant from November to December, with hopes to host part of the schedule in Kashmir. "The venue for the finale is to be finalised and will be announced officially at a later date", Saidi said, adding that the official schedule on events across India had not been decided.
