KATHMANDU, Jan 9: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has instructed the Ministry of Labour, Employment, and Social Security to refrain from making or implementing decisions that would impose an additional financial burden on migrant workers seeking jobs abroad.

The wedding gift culture is a financial burden on the bride’s family as much as the dowry is. The best we can do is love our daughters and sons equally; strengthen and empower them equally so that women are not dependent on men, neither factually nor seemingly.
