Kathmandu, June 19
The government of Nepal on Friday brought in bodies of 23 Nepali migrant workers who died in different countries at different times while working recently.
Earlier last month, it was reported that the bodies of 149 Nepalis were stuck in different countries. Of them, 20 from Qatar, two from Kuwait, and one from the United Arab Emirates, informs the Tribhuvan International Airport General Manager Devendra KC.
The bodies have been handed over to the workers’ kin today itself.
Considering flight restrictions due to the Covid-19 crisis, the government of late has urged the families to agree on burying or burning the bodies in the countries they died. Accordingly, a few have agreed, but most of the families still want the bodies of their relatives back.
