On Monday, the Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA) announced the successful conclusion of Pakistan’s post-Hajj operations for 2024.

From Pakistan’s total quota of 179,210 pilgrims, around 160,000 performed Hajj this year through both government schemes and private tour operators.

The annual pilgrimage took place from June 14-19, attracting millions of pilgrims to Saudi Arabia.

Dr. Mirza Ali Mehsood, Senior Joint Secretary of MoRA, congratulated Pakistani pilgrims on their safe return and completion of Hajj rituals. He expressed gratitude to the MoRA staff, Hajj assistants (Moavineen), and the Pakistani Hajj Medical Mission for their dedicated efforts during the post-Hajj phase.

“Moavineen and ministry staff, from officials to officers of grade 7-21, are deployed to serve these guests of Allah in Makkah and Madinah,” Dr. Mehsood stated. “They must serve with humility, setting aside arrogance and status.”

He added that the duty to serve pilgrims is a “rank-less” assignment, urging staff to cherish this opportunity.

Zia Ur Rehman, Director of Hajj in Madinah, praised the operation’s success, highlighting the facilitation of Pakistani pilgrims in food, accommodation, and transportation. Despite challenges in securing accommodations in Markazia Madinah due to ongoing construction, MoRA managed to arrange accommodations for all Pakistani pilgrims there.

Rehman noted that 66,000 Pakistani pilgrims visited the Riaz ul Jannah in Madinah.

Jamil-ur-Rehman, Assistant Director, commended the Pak Hajj app for its role in keeping pilgrims informed and connected with the ministry. The app provided access to complaints, training materials, accommodation details, flight schedules, and other services.

DCO Mushtaque Asghar reported that 36,900 complaints were received through the Pak Hajj App, with 34,979 successfully resolved promptly.
