Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has directed the bodies concerned to take measures immediately to stop the inconveniences faced at the airport by abroad-bound Nepalis going on visit visa and taking work permit. He said that complaints of this have been received.
The PM issued this instruction in course of discussions today with Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Narayan Kaji Shrestha, the Minister for Labour, Employment and Social Security Sarat Singh Bhandari, Chief Secretary Dr Baikuntha Aryal and the secretaries of the related ministries.
Stating that complaints have been received of those bearing the visit visa and labour permit facing inconvenience at the airport, PM has instructed for immediately creating conducive environment, according to the PM’s Private Secretariat.
“I have heard of the complaint that those going abroad on visit visa are turned back from the airport citing lack of proper documents, but they are allowed to travel after some days through a ‘setting’ (meaning in collusion). Please do and get done according to the Immigration Work Procedures’ in connection with those going abroad on visit visa. Please, stop pestering the people,” he said.
The Prime Minister has directed the bodies concerned to conduct awareness programme on foreign employment and visit visa reaching the local levels and to work in favour of the nation and people.
