Hajj pilgrims: Restrictions on travel lifted
The lifting of the ban will benefit 10,000 pilgrims.
ISLAMABAD:
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) director has said that the restriction imposed on intending Hajj pilgrims by foreign airlines has been lifted and they can now travel on airline tickets that they have already purchased. The lifting of the ban will benefit 10,000 pilgrims. The government had earlier restricted the travel options available for the pilgrims to only four airlines. The FIA lifted the restriction through a notification.
