Ramkisun Dev from Rajbiraj in Saptari district came back to Nepal last year after completing five years of employment in Saudi Arabia. Despite spending five consecutive years working overseas, he returned with no remaining funds or savings to his name. Following his return, Dev has resorted to working as a daily wage construction laborer to support himself. His situation reflects broader discussions regarding the utilization and long-term financial outcomes of remittance income earned by foreign employment workers returning to the Madhesh region. Uncertainty remains for many returnees in the region who face financial exhaustion after years abroad. Officials and local observers continue to examine where foreign earnings are spent, as workers like Dev find themselves seeking manual labor opportunities back home after returning from overseas employment.
