VEINEINEM Singson has been crowned Miss Kut in a grand pageant held on January 17 in conflict-ridden Ahtibung sub-division of Peren district. Singson beat 20 contestants to take home the title of the event that was organized by the Kuki Beauty & Aesthetic Society in collaboration with Runway. Neihoihing Hangsing was declared the first runner-up while Nengneivah Lotjem took the second runner-up title. In an effort to contribute to the progress of young women of Nagaland, the IGAR (N) sponsored tuition expenses for Miss Kut Veineinem Singson for an academic year.
“For Ahtibung to host a beauty pageant is savy because the town is the most conflicted insurgency area but we were told by the EAC of Ahtibung town that the town is somehow peaceful for a year compared to previous years,” an observer said.
