Govt urged to take action against those policemen involved in attacking immigration officials

Various trade unions have demanded action against those police personnel who assaulted immigration officials at the Tribhuvan International Airport.

Issuing a joint statement on Sunday, the trade unions demanded that the government take action against them within three days.

The police personnel had assaulted immigration officials during the security check at the ‘walk through’.

The trade unions showed their displeasure saying that the employees are becoming unsafe from police.

They have warned to halt all the services across the country including at the Tribhuvan International Airport if the guilty are not taken action.

“We will be forced to halt services at all the offices including at the Tribhuvan International Airport immigration office if the police personnel involved in the incident are not taken action within three days. We will also be compelled to announce the phase-wise protest programs,” the statement reads.

The trade unions have also condemned the incident where police personnel, who were deployed to protect the people, attacked the officials who were providing services at the workplace.

Chairperson of Nepal Civil Service Organization, Nepal Civil Servants Union, Nepal National Employees Organization, Integrated Government Employees Organization and Nepal Madhesi Civil Servants Forum among others mounted pressure on the government by submitting a joint memorandum.
