Kathmandu, April 16
The Supreme Court on Thursday told the government to rescue and repatriate the Nepalis who are at risk abroad due to the global coronavirus crisis.
A single bench of Justice Sapana Pradhan Malla issued an interim order on Thursday in response to a writ petition filed by advocate Som Prasad Luintel.
However, the court has also maintained that bringing in all the Nepalis without any control and management could put the people here at risk, hence sufficient precautions should be maintained to keep everyone safe and healthy. Therefore, the court has suggested a rescue with ‘conditions and restrictions of control and regulation’.
