Genuine helping hands by the Nepali Immigration officers.

I was on my way to London and checking out from the Nepalese immigration at the airport. While I was standing in front of the immigration desk, immigration officer was not paying much attention to me instead he was busy talking with other officers. Behind the immigration box, there was a young foreign girl crying - it seem something serious. And, here was another guy also standing next to my desk waiting for immigration clearance. Officer were not paying any attention to him either. It was the first time that I had to wait half-an-hour to get the clearance. 

Immigration officers wearing white shirt and blue trouser were circled and discussing, but I have no idea what was the problem. The young lady sitting behind the immigration counters still crying very loud, holding some nepalese money in her hand. After I got the clearance from the officer, I asked the officer about the situation. What I have heard from the officer was simply extraordinary help they were providing to the lady. 

Young lady was on her way to Turkey and her flight was almost leaving. She actually overstayed in Nepal for couple of days and have no money to pay overstay fee. So, all Nepalese immigration officer collected money from themselves, delayed the Turkish airlines by consulting with the airlines, paid the young lady's overstay penalty fee, release her from the immigration and escorted her to the aeroplane. I did ask if I could be any help but those dedicated immigration officer denied my offer.

This is something you do not see especially in Nepalese immigration - as we all (always) hear every now and then immigration officers harassing people, taking money from the tourists', giving unnecessary problem etc etc. But, what I witnessed was a genuine help people in critical situation. I was speechless the way immigration officers offered help to the young lady which  is a genuine gesture and I salute to all the officers at the Nepalese immigration.

I wonder, if officer will extend their helping hand like such to Nepalese national too - which yet to witness. However, I am connivence that if all officer in Nepalese authoritis change the mind set like this, Nepal certainly will not have that tag "Nepal ka karmachri GHUS KHANCHAN".

During my flight to New Delhi, I shared what I witnessed to every single people, they were speechless and saying wowwow.
