Hundreds of disco workers protested in Kathmandu this week against a government crackdown on “nude dancing” in its bid to improve the deteriorating law and order.
A Reuters report said police had raided scores of discos, nightclubs and dance bars in the past two weeks and detained 1,500 people saying many were running bars where “nude dances” were performed, not allowed by law in the Hindu majority society.
It said there are hundreds of such night spots in the Kathmandu valley, although the country has no specific law to regulate them.
A Maoist-led government which took power in August has already ordered the bars should be closed an hour before midnight but the bars are protesting, saying it would jeopardise their business and render 80,000 people jobless.
