No compromise on best facilities to Pakistani pilgrims: Minister

Chaudhry Salik Hussain, Minister for Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony, pledged on Sunday that Pakistani pilgrims travelling this year will receive the finest possible food, lodging, sanitation, transportation, and medical treatment. He said that no compromises would be made in this regard.
“This year’s Hajj would be exemplary for Pakistani pilgrims, offering facilities that were not available in the past” , he told reporters.
He remarked that all the essentials—meals, lodging, and transportation—had been standardised.
The minister declared that a stringent monitoring system would be implemented and run continuously.
“When serving the hajjis, it’s important to consider food safety and cleanliness in addition to flavour. Therefore, we will be observing food preparation up till the distribution procedures,” he said.
