Do not hassle youths going on foreign employment: Prime Minister

Kathmandu, 16 Mar : Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has directed the bodies concerned not to create unnecessary hassles to the youths going abroad for employment.

Addressing a meeting of the Development Problems Resolution Committee, the Ministry of Home Affairs, today, he issued such directive, saying people going on overseas employment have to face numerous problems in the process.

“Complaints of youths bound for foreign employment facing unnecessary hassles have been heard-whether that be while acquiring passport, during the medical test, taking the orientation or at the immigration. This is regrettable and a serious matter. Let it be known that no work that should be done according to the law and procedures should not be stopped or delayed. Any delays, dilly-dally or creating unnecessary hassles in works should be monitored and stopped,” the PM reiterated.

He also directed the Ministry to complete the remaining works undertaken under its annual approved programmes and budget on time, to be effective in maintaining the law and order and crime control and to facilitate in the development works. The Prime Minister expressed the belief that the Ministry and bodies under it would continue to work vigorously in disaster risk minimization and management, service delivery and maintaining good governance in the coming days as well.

He also underscored updating the existing policies and laws related to the home administration, and formulating and revising guidelines, directives and work procedures related to work operation in a prompt manner.
