I am always dismayed by the lack of thought and common courtesy extended to this section of the population
ISLAMABAD: As the Hajj season is around the corner, it is inevitable that prospective and enthusiastic Hajis will be making their way to Hajj camp, for necessaries. Excited about my Hajj, I also found myself en route the camp this past week. However, I encountered severe difficulty once I reached there. Upon reaching, they started stopping cars from a large distance to the campsite, which necessitates an extensive walk there. As a senior citizen, I am always dismayed by the lack of thought and common courtesy extended to this section of the population. The least they can do is allow cars closer to the Hajj camp so that older Hajis do not have to walk such a long and exhausting distance to shop for this holy pilgrimage.
