Tourism bodies have demanded that any member of the security services who manhandled Qatar Airways employees in an incident on 9 March be brought to book immediately. The employees were arrested at a hotel in Lajimpat while they interviewed candidates for jobs in Doha and then interrogated by the Department of Labour officials who said they suspected the company of illegally hiring Nepali employees. ?The onus rests on government agencies and the state security apparatus to uphold and apply the rule of law following due process therein in a civilised manner so that business entities can work in a better environment,? said a statement issued last Friday by organisations including the Hotel Association of Nepal, Trekking Agents Association of Nepal, Nepal Association of Tour Operators, Nepal Association of Tour and Travel Agents, PATA Nepal Chapter and Board of Airlines Representatives in Nepal.
