Nepali workers face deadly risks and lack of compensation in Kedarnath

Many Nepalis flock to Uttarakhand for seasonal work, lured by good income in a short period.

On August 23, four Nepali workers died in a landslide at Phanta helipad near the Kedarnath Temple in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. The victims included three people from Madi in Chitwan district and one from Dailekh district. The bodies of the deceased from Madi were brought home for funeral rites while the Dailekh man was cremated in India by villagers and his relatives.
