31-year-old Rajkumar Pariyar of Jaimini Municipality-7 met with an accident on January 27 while working at Al Fayed General Company in Saudi Arabia. He was seriously injured and died immediately during treatment. After that, the responsibility of paying the debts of Rajkumar going abroad and raising children by working has fallen on the shoulders of his wife Sushila.
Susheela works with her 10-year-old daughter and younger son. 30-year-old Sudhan Bassel of Baglung-9 had gone to Saudi Arabia last year to pay off the loan he had built. He fell ill in August last year while working. His friends took him to the hospital but he did not survive.
According to the Immigrant Resource Center for Safe Foreign Employment, 17 young people from Baglung lost their lives in foreign employment in the financial year 2080/081 alone. Most of them were working in Saudi Arabia. The center's consultant Ganga Sharma Rizal informed that four people who are employed abroad are not in contact with their families. During this period, 11 out of 14 people involved in various incidents have been rescued.
If someone dies in foreign employment, the family has to suffer to bring the body, get accident insurance and relief from the Foreign Employment Board. It is difficult to get normal relief for the families of those who have gone without labor approval. Sushila, the wife of the prince who died in Saudi Arabia, has so far received Rs 21 lakh as insurance and relief. But for that, he had to run several times, he had to ask for help from the Immigrant Resource Center. A one-way jeep fare from home to the headquarters costs more than 700 rupees. The prince went to Saudi Arabia with a work permit.
After the increase in the number of deaths, injuries and hardships caused by foreign employment, the resource center has started asking every citizen to go only with a work permit, leave a copy of the necessary document at home and provide a clear phone number of a family member at the time of making a passport. "A counseling room has been allocated in the district administration office," Meenprasad Upadhyay, coordinator of the Safe Migration (SAMI) program, said
said, "If you don't search in time, you are afraid of getting into trouble and risking your life." For that, consultants contact abroad even at night. The center also takes initiative to bring back the body if someone who is employed abroad dies. "In the previous fiscal year, the dead bodies of 7 youths were brought, last year we brought the bodies of 17 youths on our own initiative," said Sami coordinator Upadhyay.
In Baglung, there are about 5,000 more passport holders than those who took citizenship last year. According to Assistant Chief District Officer Chitrangat Baral, 8,411 people acquired citizenship in the financial year 2080/081. During the same period, the number of people making passports is 13 thousand 59. During this period, 1 thousand 2 37 people have also made a minor identity card. Often, a minor's identity card is made to go to Europe and other countries.
