It is good news for non-official Hajj pilgrims, after private tour operators have paid 100% of all services, including accommodation, food, and drinks, to Saudi Arabia before the deadline. Accommodation bookings in Mina have also been made. According to the operators, this time, no candidate will be deprived of the blessing of Hajj.
Chairman Hope Nasir Khan said that the amount required in Saudi Arabia is available in the Saudi e-wallet of Supercent Private Hajj Tour Operators. Plots of Mina and Arafat have been uploaded before the time set by the Saudi timeline for private pilgrims in Pakistan.
The government had given a deadline of December 31 to private Hajj operators to transfer the pilgrims’ money to Saudi Arabia, and had also made it clear that if the money is not deposited within the stipulated period, the private quota will be converted to the government Hajj scheme. Last year, 63,000 Pakistani pilgrims were unable to perform Hajj due to the non-timely transfer of money.
