Youths Depart Nepal for Foreign Employment Amidst Dashain Festivities

Kathmandu. The Dashain fervor has already touched cities and villages alike. The village fields are lush with paddy, and kites are flying in the city skies. Those living in cities for employment and study are returning to their villages to celebrate Dashain. However, some young men from those very villages have entered the city to go for foreign employment.

A vivid example of this is the crowd seen at Tribhuvan International Airport. In the departure lounge of the airport, faces are seen with sadness, forced to go abroad, separated from their families on the eve of Dashain. The scene of separation from family, relatives, and the country during festivals is quite heartbreaking.
