Chairing a high-level meeting to review arrangements for this year’s Hajj pilgrimage, the Divisional Commissioner issued a slew of directions to officers, instructing them to intensify preparations and ensure foolproof arrangements for the smooth departure of pilgrims.

Highlighting the significance of Hajj, the Div Com urged DCs to activate Hajj Cells in their offices to monitor preparations for facilitating pilgrims.
