Myagdi: A youth from Raghuganga Rural Municipality-6 of Myagdi district, who had been stranded while traveling to Italy from Serbia, was rescued after three months.
Bhuwan BK of Myagdi was successfully rescued, while Bishne Sarki of Beni Municipality-9 in the same district remains out of contact. Sarki has been missing since November 11, 2025, after a boat carrying migrants capsized while traveling from Serbia to Italy.
BK, who was injured and left stranded following the incident, was rescued through coordination among the Migrant Resource Centre (MRC), the Foreign Employment Board, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Embassy of Nepal in Germany. He returned home last week.
“I got a new life after being rescued,” BK said, adding that the boat carrying 13 people, including himself, had capsized during the journey. He also shared that he is suffering from serious health problems following the incident.
According to reports, the Nepali youths attempted to flee from Serbia after being deprived of their wages by their employers. Meanwhile, three other youths from Myagdi, who had gone to Serbia for employment after paying Rs 1.1 million each, have also returned home after failing to secure jobs and wages for an extended period.
