In a move to modernize and streamline Hajj operations, Pakistan’s Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunications (MoITT) has introduced the ‘Pak Hajj App.’ Developed in record time by the National Information Technology Board (NITB), the application aims to enhance efficiency and convenience for pilgrims through digitalization.
Caretaker IT Minister Dr. Umar Saif and Caretaker Minister for Religious Affairs Aneeq Ahmed jointly inaugurated the app, emphasizing its significance in transforming the Hajj experience. The launch ceremony featured a comprehensive overview of the application’s features by NITB CEO Babar Majeed Bhatti.
Dr. Umar Saif highlighted the user-friendly nature of the Pak Hajj App, enabling pilgrims to register using one-time passwords (OTPs) and receive a unique ID. The app empowers users to manage personal information, monitor real-time Hajj application status, and stay informed with crucial updates.
The app provides a comprehensive range of information, including personal details, group information, Mehram details, helper information, additional facilities, Hajj dues, nominee details, bank account information, and training schedules. Pilgrims can access flight details, accommodation information for Makkah and Madinah, and a platform for submitting complaints, requests, and inquiries.
The Pak Hajj App boasts a multilingual interface, allowing users to seamlessly switch between Urdu and English. Future plans include incorporating additional languages. The app’s offline map feature assists pilgrims in selecting the shortest route and sharing their location.
Federal Minister for Religious Affairs Aneeq Ahmed commended the collaborative efforts of the Ministry of IT and NITB, emphasizing the need for technological upgrades in the existing Hajj system. He expressed confidence that the Pak Hajj App would not only enhance efficiency but also serve as a centralized platform, integrated seamlessly with existing Ministry systems.
The Pak Hajj App is now available for download on the Google Play Store, offering Android users a comprehensive tool to enrich their Hajj experience. It is essential to note that the application is currently unavailable on the Apple App Store.
