QATAR: A Nepali migrant worker who arrived in Qatar five years ago to earn money for making ends meet has died.

Dil Bahadur Gharti Magar (28) of Beni Municipality-13 in Myagdi died recently.

He is survived by a wife, a son, a daughter, mother, father and three siblings.

The body has been kept at the Hamad Hospital for the past one week.

Preparations were being made to send his body back to Nepal, said Prem Rasaili, Coordinator at the Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) Qatar Labour Department.

An organisation of Nepali migrant workers in the Gulf nation has appealed to the government through the Nepali Embassy for necessary relief including insurance money to Gharti's bereaved family.
