Rescue of Surkhet’s Kamal Khadka Stranded in Saudi Arabia for Nine Months Through the Strong Initiative of Yam Tamu
Kathmandu — Kamal Khadka of Surkhet, who had traveled to Saudi Arabia for employment, had been stranded and out of contact for the past nine months, leaving his family in Nepal in deep mental distress. Uncertainty over whether their son was alive or not turned their days and nights into a painful ordeal filled with tears and anxiety.
The harsh realities of migrant life, financial hardship, and the absence of support had made Kamal Khadka’s situation increasingly critical with each passing day. While the family continued to appeal for help from various agencies and individuals without losing hope, a humanitarian initiative finally brought a ray of hope.
After the matter came to the attention of respected social worker Yam Tamu, widely known as a “guardian of the poor and distressed” and the operator of Laliguras Restaurant, the rescue effort gained momentum. Upon receiving the information, he immediately took decisive action. Through continuous coordination, tireless efforts, and deep humanitarian concern, the successful rescue of Kamal Khadka was ultimately made possible.
Kamal Khadka has now been safely taken to the Nepali Embassy, where he is under protection. The process of preparing the necessary documents is underway, and arrangements are being made for his return to Nepal in the near future.
For a family that endured nine months of struggle between hope and despair, this news has come as the greatest relief of their lives. Moreover, this incident stands as a powerful example of humanity, compassion, and responsibility toward Nepalis stranded abroad.
Heartfelt gratitude has been expressed to everyone who contributed to this humanitarian effort, with special respect and deep appreciation extended to Yam Tamu for his remarkable initiative.
