Camp Secretaries have asked the Government of Nepal to grant “refugee status” to all asylum seekers without any delay.
In a joint letter addressed to Prime Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai on Sunday, four Camp Secretaries said the government should initiate verification of all asylum seekers and others, who have not been accepted as refugees due to various reasons, before the start of consolidation of Khudunabari camp into Beldangi.
The secretaries of Beldangi, Sanischare, Timai and Khudunabari camps also demanded immediate processing of third country resettlement cases at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
“All those files pending at the UNHCR should be immediately forwarded to the International Organisation for Migration’s office for further processing,” said secretaries in the letter.
They also accused the Lutheran World Federation of unmanaged camp settlement during the camp merging.
Meanwhile, a woman advocacy group from among those who are without “refugee status” was formed last week. The group announced that Durga Devi Bista will lead the nine-member advocacy group.
Dear Mr. Editor,
Would you please give more details about this issue? We would like to know who these kids are,why are they not included in ‘refugee’ status if they are born in the camp, who organized this rally and so on. It is amazing that you guys don’t want to give a clear picture of the stories you carry.

Hey,

Mr. Khem,
It is very rude of you to shoot a comment that way. I read most of your comments and always thought you are a sensible guy, are you?
My question was to the editor and not to someone who literary does not understand the ethics of journalism. Am I wrong to ask for a detail? Or are you acting savior?
It is important that we all grow up and combat ignorance tactfully. There lies the longevity of this site.
Regards,
