Jewelery worth lakhs along with weapons have been looted in the gold business of two places in Australia in a period of about a month. As the cases of robbery against Nepalese businessmen have started to increase, the businessmen here have started to feel insecure. They have demanded the government to stop the increasing attacks and looting on Nepalese businessmen.

On Tuesday evening, an armed group robbed a Nepali jewelry store in Chermside, Brisbane, Queensland, and stole jewelry worth millions. The armed group seriously injured shopkeeper Vijay Sunar during the robbery. They came in a group of four people with masks on their faces and broke the glass of the shop with a hammer. The goldsmith injured in the incident is being treated in the ICU of the local hospital.

In the same way, armed group looted Nepali businessman Tejendra Ghimire's gold shop in the middle of the robbery in Brisbane last month. According to the police, the search for those involved in the same trend is underway. Condemning the attacks on Nepali businesses for about a month, organizations including NRNA have expressed concern and demanded security from the government.  

The team including the coordinator of NRNA Queensland, Shambhu Ghaise, met Steven Miles, the leader of the opposition party in the state of Queensland, and drew attention to the increasing attacks on Nepali businessmen. Meeting at the Parliament Building, the Nepali team demanded that the investigation of the incidents against Nepali should be done carefully and security should be guaranteed. The Nepalese team also requested to take the initiative for priority in the investigation and to take the initiative for the necessary assistance to the victims and the injured.

The leader of the opposition party, Miles expressed his regret about the incident and expressed his commitment to provide the support that he can. He assured the injured and the victims of necessary assistance. He said that every businessman should be able to do business feeling safe and that he will do everything possible for this. 

Now there are about one and a half dozen Nepali people operating jewelery shops in Australia. A few months ago, a Nepalese gold shop in Melbourne's Coburg was also robbed. Nepalis demand that there should be a security guarantee to prevent the incident that happened in Brisbane from happening again in other states . NRNA coordinator Ghaise said that he will also meet with the state premier and the police minister and demand security. "We will meet the representatives of all agencies to ensure the right to do business safely as a citizen," he told Kantipur.
