Kathmandu, April 29
The Development and Technology Committee in Parliament has directed the governments to provide jobs to the Nepalis who are likely to return home from their foreign jobs in the wake of the global Covid-19 crisis.
A meeting of the committee on Thursday made the decision. Earlier, a few days ago, the government had estimated that around 300,000 migrant workers could return home after losing jobs due to the crisis. Thousands of Nepalis working in various parts of India have already returned home.
The committee also directed the government to provide some other facilities to such workers in a package, besides employment.
Meanwhile, the committee also urged the government to ensure that all the infrastructural construction works were ongoing even during the lockdown.
