Return of Nepalis from Saudi Arabia viable via Qatar, Turkey transit routes

KATHMANDU: Thousands of Nepalis in Saudi Arabia can now return home by making Qatar or Turkey a transit.

The flight ban affected Nepali workers, who purchased tickets before the flight ban, those returning home after their contracts or visit visa expired, and those who lost their jobs due to various reasons.
