The youths had gone to Dubai some time ago for foreign employment on a tourist visa through a local agent Surendra Yadav. After contacting Mayor Shah, who was on a visit to Dubai, the victims informed him about their problem and they returned to Nepal through Shah's efforts.
Mayor Shah said, "My trip to Dubai was for seven days but after finding that a few youths from the municipality were stranded there, I cut short my visit to three days. The youths have been rescued and they have returned home."
Mayor Shah, who was visiting Dubai for his Dashain vacation, found that the youths from his own village were stranded there. He said that he would take initiative to repatriate four other stranded youths from his village.
