KATHMANDU, Sept. 13: The Ministry of Youth, Labour and Employment has directed Nepali diplomatic missions in foreign employment destination countries to complete the verification of demand letters smoothly and within the stipulated time.
The ministry issued the directive after receiving complaints that employers were facing difficulties because Nepali missions were taking too long to verify demand letters and were not informing them of all missing documents at once.
