KATHMANDU: The Nepal government is making preparations to lift the ban on international flights for 10 days to bring Nepali people stranded abroad.
A proposal has been submitted at the High-Level Coordination Committee for the Prevention and Control of COVID-19 to lift the international ban to this effect.
There have been no international flights conducted at the initiation of the Nepal government to bring back Nepali people stranded in various countries abroad so far.
