From now onwards, the kin of a Nepali migrant worker who dies in course of foreign employment will get up to Rs 2.7 million under social welfare and insurance schemes. A migrant worker so far gets Rs 300,000 as compensation from the Foreign Employment Promotion Board if he/she dies in a foreign country, and an additional Rs 500,000 from the employer company under insurance policy. In this connection, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal announced a detailed scheme Tuesday at his official residence. As per the announcement, the government has decided to provide an additional Rs 400,000 in the compensation provided by the board. The Foreign Employment Act will also be amended to increase the compensation amount for migrant workers.
