Kathmandu, January 2

The Supreme Court has ordered the government to effectively implement the free visa free ticket provision introduced for the migration of Nepali workers for foreign employment.

The order tells the government to ensure that there are adequate laws and mechanisms to implement the provision.

A division bench of justices Purushottam Bhandari and Kedar Prasad Chalise issued the order in the name of government on Monday, directing the decision made around two years ago be effectively executed.

Advocates Hari Phuyal, Barun Ghimire, Anurag Devkota and Ramesh Badal had pleaded for the writ filed by an organisation.

Earlier in September 2017, the apex court had issued a show cause notice on the issue.
