Seven Nepali migrant workers, who were stranded in Kuwait, have been rescued and brought back home to Nepal.

They had gone to the Gulf country on a work visa. Global Times Kuwait, the company employing them, was found to have made them work 14 hours daily without paying their salaries for two months.

The stranded workers were brought to Nepal on Thursday night at the initiation of Dharma Overseas Pvt Ltd and media person Jeevan Sharma. The rescued workers are Bibek Raj Yadav, Ekbal Jolha, Izahar Jolha, Hasan Raj Jolha, Nirmal Nepali, Ganesh Kumal and Bhim Prasad Rajbanshi.

The rescued workers are currently lodged at Pasa Hotel at Chabahil, Dharma Overseas said. "They will be sent home after the job-placement company that sent them to Kuwait reimburses their money." - RSS
