Nepali migrant workers employed in India have begun returning home in large numbers as Dashain and Tihar approach. Reports from Nepalgunj and Dhangadhi say workers are entering Nepal through border crossings, including the route via Nepalgunj, to celebrate the festivals with their families.
Annual festive-season return
The movement reflects the annual rush of Nepali workers coming home from abroad for the festive season. Dashain and Tihar are approaching, prompting workers in India to make the journey back to Nepal.
