Kathmandu, May 12
Qatar has urged the Nepali workers who
had returned empty handed after serving at the Qatar-based Mercury MENA in 2017
to collect their due remunerations.
Issuing a statement on Thursday, the
Government of Qatar urged the remaining workers who are yet to receive their
due money to contact the Embassy of Qatar in Kathmandu or Department of Foreign
Employment (DoFE).
They should contact either institution
with the document proving their Qatari identity number and passport, said the
embassy.
According to the statement, Govinda
Mochi, Santosh Kumar Sharma, Sanjay Chaudhary, Sakil Ahamad Musalman, Sabin
Karki, Ranjit Kumar Khang, Rameshwor Mandal and Ramakant Khang can directly
contact the embassy or DoFE. Other
Nepalis requested to contact are Ram Krishna Niraula, Niranjan Pasman, Gyan
Chand Kurmi, Brahmdev Khang Khtwe, Birendra Hajara, Baijnath Chaudhary, Ajay
Kumar Shrestha, Vinod Kumar Bhar, Tej Narayan Ray Amat, Surendra Bohora,
Sikandar Mukhiya, Selendra Maharan and Ram Udagar Ram.
Likewise, the embassy has urged Dipendra
Sarki and Dhruba Sripali to reach the embassy or DoFE with the documents. Last
year, 33 Nepalis had received their due money from the company.
The workers had returned penniless from Mercury
MENA, a mechanical, engineering and plumbing company that operated its services
across the mid-Asia and North Africa. According to a report of Amnesty
International, each worker has unpaid salaries and benefits averaging over
US$2,000.
