MUMBAI: Haj travellers can now fly to Saudi Arabia from multiple embarkation points in the country, which will make their travel “economical”, Union Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi announced here today.
The facility will come into effect from November 15.
“There are 21 major embarkation points in the country, but Haj travellers have been using other cities as well to fly to Saudi Arabia. We are now offering them multiple embarkation facility, where people can choose the city to board the flight to Saudi Arabia,” Naqvi told reporters at the Haj House.
He said the facility will prove more economical for pilgrims as charges at the major embarkation points like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata are cheaper than the tier-II cities such as Aurangabad, Indore, and Srinagar among others. (AGENCIES)
