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. Last Sunday night, Pandey, who came from Tamang, went to his house because he received a call from his friend. Tamang said Pandey has been out of touch since then.
Pandey, who asked his co-worker to take food for him, was searched after he did not go to work on Monday. "After Pandey lost contact, we contacted his family in Nepal, from there we received news that Pandey called his relatives in the morning and said that he will not be in contact for a few days, now he is not in contact with anyone," said Tamang.
