Nepali workers eager to go to Kuwait for work will have to wait till the war clouds dissipate. The government has suspended migrant workers from going there because of the threat of an invasion of Iraq by the US-led coalition. The government is also likely to ban Nepalis from visiting other Gulf countries in the event of an actual war. The estimated 300,000 Nepalis, working in the Middle East, contribute nearly Rs 30 billion annually in remittances to the country's economy.
