KATHMANDU, Nepal - In a compound tucked into a residential neighborhood in this mountainous country’s dusty capital, an official waves a metal-detecting wand while interrogating a woman in a blue shawl. “What is this?” the official barks, holding up a plastic bag full of leaves. “No, miss, you now must go for questioning by the police, please step to this side.”

30 Dec 2013, Damak - Since the launch of the programme in late 2007, more than 86,000 of the 108,000 Bhutanese refugees in Nepal have been permanently resettled in eight countries - the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, Denmark, Australia, Norway, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom - making the operation among the world’s largest of its kind.
