Bishnu Giri, Station In-charge of Jamunaha Area Police Office in Nepalgunj, told ANI a total of 76,048 migrant workers had returned to Nepal via the Nepalgunj border point till September 15. 

“While 22,000 have gone back to India in the last four weeks as most of them are finding it difficult to sustain here because of the prolonged lockdown and COVID-19 fear,” he said.
