The MNA said Pakistani ambassador and the senior officials of Ministry of Religious Affairs are in Saudi Arabia were also making efforts to locate the missing persons and facilitate the injured.
On the contrary, the Ministry of Religious Affairs has not yet updated the list of the deceased and injured on its website since September 27. The list shows outdated data which is unhelpful for the relatives of the Hajj stampede victims.
