When he went to Korea and started sending money, the family was happy. On August 25, 2080, while working in the factory, he was crushed by a clip and died. The family members came to know about the incident only after 16 hours . Hearing this, the Tamang family was thunderstruck.

'After the day starts, what do you think? Had to take care of it . We tried to handle it," Indra Bahadur's mother Dilkumari said. The Tamang family members could not think how to bring the body home in Korea. The corpse had to be brought. Then the work should be done according to Sankar . But how? He didn't know who to plead for defeat, where to go and file a petition. Even if it is known how the head of the family was Indra Bahadur .

While writhing in pain and agony, with the help of local Anish Tamang, he reached the Immigrant Resource Center under the Safe Migration (SAMI) program at District Administration Office Panchthar at the headquarters. The consultant who was there started the process of taking out the body by writing to the Nepali Embassy in Seoul through the Foreign Employment Board. Indra Bahadur's body arrived home on October 12, 2080 with the facilitation. Funeral and Kaj Kiriya took place . Where and how does the money for insurance and compensation come from?

"If the immigration branch under the Sami program had not been established in the district, we would not have understood anything about insurance and compensation," Dilkumari added.

Indra Bahadur's 50-year-old father Karna Bahadur can't hear, while his 25-year-old brother Nar Bahadur can't stand up. The support of family members is mandatory to feed him, sleep him and make him sit. "The Sami program proved to be helpful in getting relief and compensation as well as insurance money for his family, who became destitute after the inheritance of the Tamang family, Indra Bahadur, was left in Korea," said Anish Tamang, a neighbor who has been continuously supporting the family after the incident.
