MADINAH: The Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony has finalized its arrangements to welcome Pakistan’s intending pilgrims in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) as the month-long pre-Hajj flights operation is set to commence on May 9.
“By the grace of Allah Almighty, we are optimistic to a great extent that our pre-Hajj arrangements will ensure a smooth Hajj operation,” said Ahmed Nadeem Khan, Joint Secretary and Director of Facilitation and Coordination (F&C), in a media briefing at the Main Control Office (MCO).
He emphasized that this was an annual large-scale Hajj operation for the ministry, both in Pakistan and KSA, and they were making all-out efforts to make it hassle-free.
The ministry has introduced several new initiatives, including discounted long and short packages, complimentary uniform baggage with QR coding, and essential items like head scarf for females and Ahraam belts for males. Additionally, a complimentary Hajj SIM card with data and minutes ensures connectivity throughout the journey.
The mandatory Hujjaj App, designed to educate, track, and assist pilgrims in performing Hajj rituals, reflects the ministry’s commitment to facilitating a seamless pilgrimage experience.
Addressing the Hajj supporting staff, including Mouvaineen, doctors, paramedics, and seasonal staff, Nadeem Khan motivated them to deliver their best in extending maximum facilities to the guests of Allah Almighty arriving at the holy places of Makkah al-Mukarramah and Madinah Al-Munawarah in KSA.
He emphasized that their performance would be minutely evaluated, and no negligence would be tolerated.

In response to a question, Nadeem Khan said the ministry was gradually switching over its Hajj operation to end-to-end automation, and the launch of the Hajj app was one of its main features.
“We have completed 70-80% automation, and the rest will be done in due course.” He said, adding currently 80-90 percent of intending pilgrims have been communicated with through the Hajj App, sharing information about their flights, accommodation, vaccination and visa approval.
All intending pilgrims, the director said, would be accommodated in residential buildings located in Markazia, from where Masjid Nabvi and Roaza-e-Pak (SAW) is hardly a 15-20 minutes walking distance away.
Ahmed Nadeem said over 8,000 Pakistanis have so far contacted the ministry through the Hajj app to discuss their issues regarding the spiritual journey, which have been cleared within no time, and a few are at various stages of resolution. “So far, over 60,000 are active users of the Hajj App, while the number of intending pilgrims under the government scheme stands at 67,000-plus.”
Approximately 179,210 Pakistani pilgrims will perform their religious obligation under both government and private schemes, and the month-long pre-Hajj flight operation is slated to take off on May 9, ferrying pilgrims to the revered destinations in KSA.
