General Federation of Nepalese Trade Unions (GEFONT) affiliated Central Union of Painters, Plumbers, Electro and Construction Workers-Nepal (CUPPEC) has rescued 70 workers who had been stranded for about 1 month and sent them home.

CUPPEC Nepal held the rescue operation after it was reported that Rashula Ali, the contractor of Horizon Apartment located in Tokha, had not provided safe housing and ration for the workers.

A team including CUPPEC Central Vice President Yogendra Sharma, District Labor Department Member Tek Narayan Yadav and GEFONT Tokha Municipal Committee President Leela Bahadur Basnet had coordinated with the relevant parties.
