Kathmandu. The Department of Foreign Employment has given a 3-day deadline to remove misleading publicity materials related to labour permit and middlemen.
Issuing a notice today, the department issued such an ultimatum. “The Department took this step after receiving complaints that some cyber centers, training centres and other organisations located near the entry of the department’s office were misleading, attracting, extorting money or even acting as middlemen by publicizing the word ‘labour is done here’ or ‘labour permit is done here’ or ‘labour online form is filled’ or similar words.
The notice clarifies that the work related to labour permit would be carried out only by the Department of Foreign Employment and the designated Labour and Employment Offices as per the prevailing law. The Department has warned to stop such writings and publicity that create confusion in the labour permit process.
The Department has also directed all entrepreneurs, cyber centers, organizations and individuals to remove such publicity boards, hoarding boards, flex boards, wall paintings and other materials by April 30.
The Department has warned that action will be taken against those who do not follow this directive as per the Foreign Employment Act, 2064 and other prevailing laws.
