Nepal minister rescues trafficking victims from Indian airport

Kathmandu: A chance encounter between a Nepali delegation headed by a minister and four Nepali women in New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport saved the women from being trafficked to Kuwait.
The delegation, led by Nepali minister Urmila Arryal, was returning from a study trip to Kabul when they became suspicious at the sight of a vulnerable-looking group huddling desolately in the busy airport.After questioning the group, which included a nursing mother, the delegation learnt that the quartet were being taken to Kuwait to work as housemaids even though Nepal has banned its woman from working as domestic help in Gulf countries.The group had apparently been left in the lurch by the broker and at Arryal's initiative, they were taken to the Nepali embassy in Delhi.
The ministry of labour and transport management has been asked to look into the incident and arrest the culprits.
