JUMLA, June 26: The body of a young man from Hima Rural Municipality-1, Dewargaon, in Jumla has been found stranded in Malaysia.

The body of Maya Lal Pariyar, son of Rato Damai, who had gone to Malaysia for foreign employment, was found stranded in Malaysia.

He was about 32 years old and flew to Malaysia from Nepal on 3rd August 2013. Mrigendra Kumar Shahi of his village, who was living in Malaysia, said that he came to know about his death only on June 24 this year.

Shahi said that Pariyar had gone to work as a security guard during the day and was found dead inside the room at night. He said, “We found out only the next day. Currently, the body of the deceased is in a hospital in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.”

It has been three days since his death. It is not seen that any agency has taken any initiative to bring his dead body back to Nepal. Shahi said that Pariyar's body is now under police protection. Relatives said that despite requests through social media to take the initiative to bring the body to Nepal, there was no response from anywhere.
