Nepalis in Kuwait worry for own safety after deaths of compatriots from Covid-19 Kathmandu Post
Kathmandu, April 23 Hari Krishna Neupane spent 17 years working in Kuwait and Iraq. He started as a general worker for a Kuwaiti food and beverage company, and working between the two countries, Neupane rose to the position of restaurant manager. I worked between 2006 and 2010 in Iraq where the Kuwaiti company had its branches, said Neupane, now 42. Every six months, I would return to Kuwait. After years of hard work, I could become a restaurant manager and take care of my families back home.
But Covid-19 came as a shock to him like tens of thousands of Nepali migrant workers in the Persian Gulf. Neupane lost his job and also contracted Covid-19 in Kuwait last May.
