The International Labor Organisation (ILO) has today agreed to provide Rs 51 million grant to the Non-resident Nepali Association (NRNA) to rescue Nepali migrant workers from Malaysia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar and Saudi Arabia. They have been stranded in those labour destinations due to Covid-19 pandemic.
NRNA president Kumar Pant shared that an agreement has been signed between the ILO and NRNA. “We are pleased to share that the ILO under the United Nations has agreed with us to provide $4,24310 (equivalent to Rs 51 million) grant to NRNA," he said, adding that the grant will be utilised to rescue Nepali migrant workers stuck in Malaysia, UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia due to coronavirus outbreak. “The grant will also be used to study the impact of Covid-19 in labour market.”
The NRNA is coordinating with the Nepali diplomatic missions in Malaysia, UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia to set up its separate offices to evacuate stranded Nepali migrant workers, according to Pant.
