“Nivida Lamichhane” has finally received her temporary official documents to travel back to Nepal from Prague of the Czech Republic. Few days back the social media of Nepal went wild on a story of girl who was robbed of her belongings including her passport , and was waiting for her travel document from the Nepali Embassy in Germany. Lamichhane broke her sorrow through her facebook status that went viral around the globe.
She wrote, “I have always been a patriot, but witnessing the way Nepal works- even overseas makes me want to smash windows and burn tyres. I was asked to send a photograph of mine along with a letter supporting my cause via post to Berlin last week. I did that the same day they asked me to spending 50Euros (When suddenly in a foreign land, I’m broke). The letter has not yet reached Berlin- don’t know why,”
“In between conversations and consequences put across by the Nepali embassy- that did not seem legitimate, I am stuck here in Czech Republic. When asked why the embassy can’t take a scanned copy of my photograph and print it for the Travel Document, they say it can’t be done. I am sick of communicating with the embassy and sticking to their unnecessary rules. I remember how a friend of mine got his American passport a day after filing the complaint -FOR FREE in Nepal . Here, I’m expected to pay 240 Euros and wait for three weeks, my visa expires in a week and my tickets to Nepal are dated May 13,” added She.
After the viral message Poonam Maharjan one of the journalist of the national daily Repbulica reported the case to the online platform of Hello Sarkar and to the current Ministry of Foreign Affairs through her social media.
