According to Tourism Minister Ananda Pokharel, over 20,000 Nepalis may be working in Afghanistan both legally and illegally. Government records show that it has issued permits to over 8,889 Nepalis to work as security guards in Afghanistan. "The government has also decided to ask the Afghanistan government to immediately investigate the attack and make the details public," said Minister Rai, who is the spokesperson of the government.
Likewise, the government has decided to ask the Canadian government for its official statement about the attack. The Canadian government has not issued any statement so far. As many as 24 Nepalis, who returned to Nepal on Thursday along with the bodies of 12 of those killed in the attack, said the embassy had intelligence reports about the attack but did not caution them. As many as 147 Nepali security guards were providing security at the Canadian embassy in Kabul. "The cabinet meeting also decided to provide Rs 1 million each to the families of the 13 Nepalis killed in the attack," Minister Rai said, adding that the government will cover the medical expense of six other Nepalis, who were injured in the attack. The injured are currently undergoing medical treatment at a hospital in India. Meanwhile, the cabinet meeting has appointed former deputy governer Maha Prasad Adhikari as chief executive officer of the Investment Board Nepal. He has been appointed to the position for the next four years. Likewise, the cabinet has decided to scrap the Nepali citizenship of two Indians--Aashik Chattarji and Mohan Pandey. While Chattarji had taken Nepali citizenship from Banke district, Pandey had done so from Parsa. "The cabinet has decided to take legal action against the officials issuing recommendations for citizenship for the two Indians," Minister Rai informed.
