North Korean workers deported from Nepal

North Korean citizens were working in Nepal on tourist visas, carrying out blasting work for a hydro powerplant

Fifty four North Korean citizens who were working illegally in Nepal have been deported, according to a report from local media published on March 1.

The DPRK workers were sent to Nepal to help with blasting work for the construction of a hydroelectric power plant, but did not get the necessary work permits and instead entered the country on tourist visas.
