We have enacted Foreign Employment & Migration law -2013, Expatriate Welfare and Foreign Employment policies 2017 and Wage Earners Welfare Board 2018. The protection, rights and welfare have been ensured in these laws.

She said to the recruiting agencies so that they do not send workers abroad only to earn money. There are some people who go abroad after selling everything they belong. They are being deceived.

Those agencies will be dealt with strict hands.
