With a renewed pledge to provide maximum facilities to intending pilgrims and ensure flawless arrangements for Hajj-2011, the Ministry of Religious Affairs would start receiving applications from April 10- almost six months before the commencement of pre-Hajj flight operation.
The applications would be received through designated bank branches of Allied Bank Limited, Habib Bank Limited, Muslim Commercial Bank, National Bank of Pakistan, United Bank Limited and Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited.
This year, Minister for Religious Affairs Syed Khurhseed Ahmed Shah would supervise the entire Hajj operation to ensure transparent and smooth conduct of the pilgrimage.
"I myself will supervise the next Haj operation and try to make exemplary arrangements for the guests of Allah Almighty both in Pakistan and at the Holy land- Saudi Arabia," the minister said while talking to APP.
He said no application form without having number of machine readable passport (MRP) would be entertained, advising the intending pilgrims to get their MRPs ready at the earliest to avoid any inconvenience.
