BAIDATI: Nepalis who had been in Indian quarantine for more than a month have returned home. They said they are happy for returning to their home country.

Uttam Bohara of Purchaundi Municipality-8 of Baitadi said that he was very happy to come to his homeland amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

“We are very happy to be able to return home when there are so many problems in the quarantine of foreign lands,” he said.

Thousands of Nepalis were quarantined in the Indian border area after a lockdown was enforced in both the countries to contain and prevent coronavirus. They were allowed to return home only on Thursday.
