Bodies of hundreds of migrant workers repatriated after resumption of flights

More than 150 workers were cremated abroad with the consent of their families due to months of repatriation delay caused by flight restrictions amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

Bodies of hundreds of migrant workers who died in labour destination countries during the Covid-19 lockdown in Nepal were brought home after the government started repatriation flights in late June following the lifting of the lockdown.
