March 6: Nepal’s embassy in Muscat, Oman has rescued 11 workers who were stranded in the Gulf nation. Issuing a press statement, the Nepali embassy said that it has returned the rescued workers back to Nepal after negotiation their release from their employer.

According to the embassy, about 20 Nepalis employed by Sohar-based Muwarad Wadi Hibi Modern Trade had sought help from the embassy after they were not provided proper facilities as pledged in their contract papers.

The Nepali workers were sent to Oman by Honesty Overseas Pvt Ltd, a manpower company which has obtained the license from the government of Nepal to send workers overseas. The workers had claimed that they were left stranded some 165 kilometers away from the company in a place known as Barka.

The embassy said it made a field visit to the place and immediately took measures for their safety. Even after repeated attempts with the concerned authorities to secure their rights, the embassy couldn’t succeed in solving the problem and decided to send the workers back to Nepal upon their request.

The embassy has also written to the concerned authorities to take action against the companies.
