Responding to a question on the arrangements, cited as ‘poor’ by J&K pilgrims this year, Dr. Qureshi said that facilities this year were better than last year and that accommodation within Markazia (within 400 meters of Masjid Nabvi SAW) in Madina tul Manawara and quality of hotels was much better.

He, however said that scorching heat on Arafat day and traffic Jam during movements in Mashair region were challenging for Hajj 2024.

“In Makkah transport facilities were better than last years. In Mashair region, all were accommodated within traditional boundaries of Mina during stay at Mina”, he added.
