15 women sent back from S Arabia

KATHMANDU, July 12: Nepali embassy in Saudi Arabia has sent home 15 Nepali women stranded in that country for over 15 months. The embassy could not send them back earlier as most of them had reached Saudi Arabia illegally via Bombay and lacked proper documents.



The women, who were sheltered in the embassy for three months, said that few individuals from their village duped them and sent them to Bombay from where they were taken to Saudi Arabia.



The women have appealed to the government to arrest the individuals who took money from them and promised them employment in Saudi Arabia.
