Damak, June 21: The 17th World Refugee Day has been marked by organizing several programmes here on Tuesday.
Under the joint aegis of Beldangi Camp and Shanishchare Camp Management Committees, Bhutanese refugees handed over a memorandum with demands to Jhapa Chief District Officer, Uttar Kumar Adhikari.
Among the demands are granting the Bhutanese refugees the status of international refugee, giving priority to the refugees wishing to return home country, and then only addressing the needs of those wishing to stay in Nepal and going for third party settlement, reads the memorandum.
Receiving the memorandum, Chief District Officer Adhikari said that the local administration was serious to address the problem of refugee and pledged to present this issue to the Nepal government.
Meanwhile, at the end of a two-day cultural festival, noted comedian duo, Madan Krishna Shrestha and Haribamsha Acharya were felicitated by Bhutanese refugees. RSS
