Nepali Youths Protest Delays In Employment Permit System (EPS) Deployment To South Korea
Youth candidates under the Employment Permit System (EPS) stage a protest in Kathmandu, Nepal, on January 27, 2026, demanding faster deployment to South Korea after passing language and skill tests. The protesters, who pass the language exams for the agriculture and fisheries sectors but remain on the roster for over a year without being sent, gather at Maitighar, Kathmandu. They demand that the validity of the roster be extended by two years, as names of qualified candidates are removed if they are not selected by employers within the current two-year period.
