ISLAMABAD:
The Ministry for Religious Affairs has chalked out a strategy for the provision of same accommodation to all members of a family during the Hajj pilgrimage.
According to religious ministry sources, all members of the same family will also proceed to 'Riazul Jannah' of the Masjid-e-Nabwi (PBUH) together.
The step of keeping family members together during the Hajj was taken in view of difficulties they often face when they have separate accommodations.
The ministry has also directed the banks to collect en-mass the applications of the members of the same family.
