130 Nepali workers left in the lurch after manager ‘runs away’

As many as 130 Nepali workers for different companies in Qatar have been left in the lurch for the past 16 days after the manager of the companies they worked for “ran away”.

They were working for Al Sahaba Building Construction, Asasa Engineering, Insight Advanced Construction and Paradise Trading and Supplies companies in Sanaya-18. According to workers, a person named Mishri managed all these companies.

“Our condition has worsened after Mishri ran away, leaving us stranded,” said Pahalman Pun of Rolpa. Workers said they have not received salary and other allowances since April.

On June 23, the workers had approached the Embassy of Nepal in Qatar to seek help.

Krishna Bahadur Tamang of Jhapa said the workers had to spend QR550 to prepare the necessary documents to lodge the complaint at the embassy.

“We want to return home as soon as possible,” they said.

Gopilal Karki of Morang said the stranded Nepalis have run out of money. “We don’t have money to buy air tickets,” said Karki.

An official at the embassy said the mission will soon take appropriate measure to rescue the migrant workers.

Why must they have to spend up to 550 to process docs inorder to luch a complaint not at the labour department or human rights but their embassy???

You people are using the word "shame" on persons who do not have the slightest degree of conscience or feelings for others or powers to think properly.

The poor manager is likely under pressure from his father in law to lend some money to buy land .. He needs our help
