Not even a week into April, six Nepali community members from New South Wales have died in different incidents. Although the causes of death vary, most of them are on temporary visas, which makes the repatriation of the bodies to Nepal a difficult process says Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) Australia. Deputy Chief of Mission from the Nepal Embassy in Canberra, Kul Bahadur Magar, and President of NRNA Australia, Anil Pokhrel, spoke to SBS Nepali about their office's role in such situations.
