At least 21 undocumented Nepali migrant workers have been deported with free tickets from Malaysia.
The Nepal Embassy in Malaysia, in a statement, said that its migrant workers left for Nepal on Wednesday, reports the Himalayan Times.
The people were sent back with the support of the Depot Tahanan Imigresen Machap Umboo, Malacca.
The statement also said 448 citizens have been deported to the country in past one year and the Nepali mission would make preparations to send others staying in various detention camps at the earliest.
The Nepali citizens, who had spent jail sentences in Malaysia, were sent back to the country with the help of different Malaysian organisations and companies.
