Foreign employment agencies halt works



KATHMANDU: Over seven hundred foreign employment agencies across the country are halting their works today to protest the bomb blast at the house of a foreign employment agency operator last Friday.

Netra Bikram Chand led Nepal Communist Party (NCP) has claimed the responsibility of the bomb blast at the house of Rohan Gurung, the chairman of Nepal Association of Foreign Employment Agencies (NAFEA) last Friday evening. Youth Group Nepal, an organization affiliated with the Chanda led NCP had claimed the responsibility of the incident issuing a press release last Saturday evening.

A powerful bomb blast at the garage of Gurung’s house had left four people injured. Cadres of the Chand’s NCP had demanded money from Gurung as a donation. However, Gurung had refused the demand citing that he was facing financial crisis as Malasiya had stopped hiring workers.
