Advocate Yuvraj Paudel stated that human traffickers have trapped most Nepalis who traveled abroad on visit visas over the past five years, forcing them to suffer greatly. He demanded that authorities take strict action against the guilty and clear the names of the innocent. Paudel urged the government to conduct an impartial investigation into the issue and enforce the law under the Human Trafficking and Transportation (Control) Act.
