The Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security has formed a task force to resolve grievances raised by Employment Permit System (EPS) workers. Chaired by Labour Minister Rajendra Singh Bhandari, the team will recommend improvements in candidate data forwarding to South Korean employers and advocate for higher EPS quotas. Protesting workers are demanding prioritization of agricultural laborers, reinstatement of removed candidates, repeated forwarding of pending files, and safeguards against discrimination. Authorities aim to ensure employment placement for at least 95 percent of rostered workers and begin direct engagement with affected individuals.
