Kathmandu, Aug 24 - Pop stars from Nepal and India are teaming up for a series of concerts in Nepal's main cities for an anti-trafficking campaign sponsored by MTV.

Indian crooner Sunidhi Chauhan and Nepali pop icon as well as Coke's poster boy Nima Rumba will join local stars Kranti Ale and Nalina Chitrakar for the campaign that kicks off with a concert in Kathmandu Sep 5, the first in a series of free 'MTV EXIT Live in Nepal' concerts, said a statement by the American embassy here.

The subsequent concerts will be held in Pokhara, Dharan and Hetauda. Former Miss Nepal and popular MC Malvika Subba will host the Kathmandu concert.

Subba, the MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking) campaign's ambassador in Nepal, had also lent her voice to the MTV documentary 'Sold', the heart-wrenching tale of three teens from South Asia who are sold into prostitution and slavery.

Former Miss Universe and Bollywood actress Lara Dutta is the narrator in the English and Hindi versions of the documentary.

The MTV EXIT campaign extends across all of Asia and is produced by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and MTV. Two prominent anti-trafficking organisations in Nepal - Maiti Nepal and ABC Nepal - will provide information at the concerts on how to combat human trafficking.
