In our continuous effort to find a solution to the problem faced by our members in regard to the frequent cases of Deportees, a NATTA delegation visited Home Ministry for a joint meeting with Mr. Laxmi Prasad Dhakal, Joint Secretary, Home Ministry and Mr. Sharad Chandra Poudel, DG, Immigration Department. NATTA delegation was led by Secretary General, Ms. Mihika Dhakhwa, along with Treasurer, Mr. Narayan Gurung Koney, Executive Members Mr. Binay Basnet, Mr. Chitra Bahadur Gurung and CEO, Prof. Hari Sarmah.
NATTA briefed on the financial burden faced by the members due to deportee cases and emphasized on the need to find short-term & long-term solutions. NATTA has already in the past sent a request to the DG, Immigration department, to inform NATTA when a deportee arrives in Kathmandu so that NATTA is able to inform its member on time. However, this has not been very effective and thus NATTA requested the DG to look into it further for more effective actions.

Besides the short-term solution of providing timely information from Immigration Department, NATTA also highlighted on finding a long term-solution at the government level. The Joint Secretary agreed to start correspondence with the related country governments through our Foreign Ministry to find an amicable and long-term solution. NATTA will now initiate by sending a request letter to the Joint Secretary.
