Assault on Manpower Entrepreneur at the Department of Foreign Employment

A recent incident at the Department of Foreign Employment (DoFE) has highlighted the issue of physical assault and fraud allegations within the foreign employment sector. Nirmal Rai Amat, the director of KP International Overseas Manpower, was physically assaulted by a woman who had returned from Kuwait for foreign employment.

The altercation occurred during a discussion at the DoFE, where the woman accused Amat of fraudulent activities during her time in Kuwait. As the discussion escalated, Amat was subjected to physical assault, beatings, and verbal abuse by the woman and others present. This alarming incident was reported by Rajendra Bhandari, President of the Nepal Association of Foreign Employment Agencies (NAFEA).

Bhandari expressed grave concern regarding the situation, emphasizing that the woman had been brought to Nepal by a manpower entrepreneur at his own expense. He underscored that the assault on Amat occurred during a discussion at the DoFE, raising serious questions about the safety and security of individuals within the foreign employment industry.

In response to the incident, NAFEA has called for stringent measures to be taken against individuals involved in unlawful activities within the DoFE. The association has condemned the lack of action against those responsible for the assault, stressing the need for swift and decisive action to address such illegal behavior.

The assault on Nirmal Rai Amat serves as a troubling example of the challenges faced by manpower entrepreneurs operating in the foreign employment sector. It sheds light on the vulnerability of individuals within the industry and underscores the need for greater oversight and protection for those involved in foreign employment.

As the investigation into the incident unfolds, it is crucial for the authorities to take prompt and effective action to address any illegal activities and ensure the safety and security of individuals within the foreign employment industry. NAFEA’s call for strict measures against those engaging in unlawful actions is a vital step towards upholding the integrity and professionalism of the sector.

The incident at the DoFE serves as a stark reminder of the importance of addressing the issues of fraud and assault within the foreign employment industry. It is imperative for both the government and relevant stakeholders to work together to tackle these challenges and ensure a safe and secure environment for all individuals involved in foreign employment.
