Five of the six Nepalis injured in an explosion in the Afghan capital Kabul on June 20, who were receiving treatment at the Apollo Hospital in New Delhi, were discharged on Monday evening.

Amrit Rokaya, Kumar Bahadur Gurung, Krishna Bahadur Deuja, Prem Bahadur Chhetri and Chet Prasad Sherchan are now staying at a hotel in New Delhi and will return home as soon as possible.

Critically injured Man Bahadur Thapa is recovering at the ICU of the hospital with injuries in his neck and foot.

The discharged security guards still have hearing problems. Doctors had warned them of complications if they underwent surgeries to correct their hearing deficiency.

Twelve Nepalis died when a bus they were travelling on came under a terrorist attack in Kabul. Some of the injured had planned to fly to Afghanistan after recovery but are preparing to return home following the Nepal’s government ban on its citizens to work in the war-torn country.

Scores of Nepali security guards have left Kabul after they were not assured of security better pay.
