ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony has announced that approximately 50,000 seats still remain vacant under the private Hajj scheme, offering a renewed opportunity for intending pilgrims to complete their registrations.
The Ministry confirmed that recent administrative interventions and strict monitoring have significantly accelerated the pace of private Hajj bookings across the country.
According to official figures released by the monitoring section, the total number of applications received through the digital Pak Hajj App has now reached 21,547.
The surge in applications comes in the wake of formal notice-taking by the Ministry, which prompted private tour operators and organizers to streamline their booking processes and comply with regulatory frameworks to ensure transparency and efficiency for citizens.
The availability of these substantial quota allocations provides considerable relief to prospective pilgrims who missed out on government scheme deadlines or preferred customized private packages.
Ensuring smooth coordination between authorized operators and the Ministry remains vital to maintaining high service standards and safeguarding the interests of Pakistani pilgrims traveling to Saudi Arabia for the sacred obligation.
The Ministry has urged eligible citizens to utilize the official Pak Hajj App and authorized operators to secure their remaining slots before capacity limits are exhausted. Authorities continue to monitor the daily influx of applications closely, promising further updates and guidance for travelers as the pilgrimage season approaches.
