The much anticipated ‘Purple Fest’ programme of the popular Indian comedian Kapil Sharma has been canceled just a day before the scheduled date. The programme was due to be held in Dasarath Stadium tomorrow. The Kathmandu District Administration ordered the organisers of the event to cancel the show citing security reasons. Chief District Officer Ek Narayan Aryal informed that Ncell, the main organiser of the event, was asked to cancel the show as the program venue was not totally safe from security point of view. Nepal’s security department has suggested to conduct the program after January 22nd, 2015. More than 13,000 tickets were already sold for the purple fest.
