The complaint reads like this that even after paying 4 lakh and 50000 rupees Kashmiri Hajjis having tough time in Madina, courtesy Hajj committee of India
The pilgrims talked about the accommodation facilities having bad condition hotel rooms where they are unable to accommodate
“We have literally been sandwiched. How can five people live in a small room along with luggages is beyond my comprehension? Covid protocols have gone for a toss and on top of that you have to queue up literally to perform ablution. And by the time you perform ablution, you have to run to reach the mosque,” said one of the Hajjis from district Srinagar to Kashmir.

Hajjis have also complained having not been provided with Hujaj. A Hajj official on the condition of anonymity said that atleast 8 flights which left from Srinagar to Medina are without Khadim-ul- Hujaj.
Another Hajji decleared that the Spicejet flying pilgrims to Medina hardly had any space for legs. “Flight journey was literally nightmare. It by no means was an international flight. Imagine 9 hour long journey without moving your leg. Old people especially women were withering with pain.”
When asked whether they raised the issue with the concerned officials, one Pilgrim said that he talked to CEO Abdul Salam Mir over the phone and he assured that he would look into the matter.
