KATHMANDU, FEBRUARY 16: The software of the Foreign Employment Board is yet to become operational. The software the Board uses in providing economic assistance to the workers killed or incapacitated in the course of foreign employment and to their families has been encountering some problems for some days.
Spokesperson of the Board, Tikaram Dhakal, attributes this to the memory becoming overloaded with documents and data (some of which were downloaded as many as 15 years back) “The technicians are working to fix the problems,” he said
According to him, although they are accepting applications offline, they have not been able to make the payments as it is done through the software. He added that the Board has been carrying out emergency works including related to rescue offline by sending letters, even though the software is not working. The Board states that some problems are seen in its fewims.feb.gov.np software for some days and it will take a few more days to operate it.
