Kathmandu. A Nepali youth who came to Portugal for foreign employment has gone missing. 34-year-old Jitendra Pandey, who lives in Pipalpani, Tanahun, Bhanu Municipality-9, and has been living in Portugal for the past two years, has gone missing. Pandey's friend Vidur Tamang informed that he has been missing from Sintra area near the capital Lisbon since Monday last week.
