| No private tour operator authorized to book Hajj pilgrims: SHC | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Mar 4: Appealing to pilgrims intending to undertake the Hajj-2014 not to deposit any amount with any Private Tour Operator (PTO), Jammu and Kashmir State Hajj Committee (SHC) Executive Officer (EO) today said that no PTO has so far been selected by Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
Mushtaq Ahmad Lone said the MEA has not yet selected or authorised any PTO to book pilgrims intending to undertake Hajj-2014 from Jammu and Kashmir. He said nobody should deposit any amount with any PTO since the MEA has not yet authorised anybody to book any pilgrim.
He said the Supreme Court has issued directions to MEA that only those PTOs who fulfill the criteria laid down by the court should be allowed to organise Hajj pilgrimage.
Lone said there are five PTOs from Jammu and Kashmir registered with MEA. However, he said, last year only one PTO from the state was alloted 60 seats.
Lone said pilgrims who intend to undertake the pilgrimage this year should wait till the MEA select any PTO from the state.
We will put the name of the PTO on our website beside give wide publicity on print and electronic media so that people are not cheated by others. |
