The Saudi Arabian government has reduced the number of Hajis in one room as a defence against the Corona infection. Earlier, in a room where 8-9 people were accommodated, now the number has been reduced to 2-3 people in view of the security of the Hajis. In the first train in which 45 Haj pilgrims used to travel, now more than 20 people will be able to travel in it. Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said that due to the increase in other items of Haj pilgrimage, passengers will have to bear the burden.
He said that the passengers will have a corona check before flying to Saudi Arabia on Haj pilgrimage. This corona investigation will take place 72 hours before starting the Haj pilgrimage. However, he has expressed hope that the epidemic caused by the coronavirus will be eradicated soon. In the Modi government, Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said during an interview that an adverse situation has arisen due to Corona crisis.
