Indian pilgrims first to arrive for Haj

Dubai:
Indian pilgrims will be the first to arrive in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
tomorrow for this year’s Haj.
The Haj committee is sending 1,15,000 pilgrims out of total 160,491
and the Indian Consulate in Jeddah is coordinating travel
arrangements for them. The rest of the pilgrims are coming through
private travel operators, according to Indian diplomats.
Swine flu fears have drastically cut down flow of pilgrims from the
other countries, but it has not deterred pilgrims from India as the
figures show.
A total of 341 flights will be operated to transport Indian
pilgrims. These flights include Saudia’s 115, Air India’s 130 and
NAS Air’s 96.
According to the arrangements, Saudia will transport 41,642
pilgrims, whereas 49,358 will be carried by Air India. The first
flight carrying 250 passengers from Delhi by NAS is scheduled to
land at King Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah, at 1300 hrs
tomorrow.
An average of 12 flights will carry around 4,000 pilgrims till
November 22 from 19 different Indian embarkation points everyday.
About 500 buildings have been hired to accommodate pilgrims in the
Mecca region, 70,000 pilgrims grouped green will stay within one km
from the Holy Haram, 13,000 grouped white between 1 and 1.6 km from
the Holy Haram, and 32,000 others in Azizia, the Arab News said.
A team of 10 Indian doctors arrived on October 10 and were
coordinating with various Saudi health agencies to devise strategies
to handle Swine Flu related cases. Two isolation rooms have been
created in the 30-bed hospital run by the Indian Haj Mission in
Mecca to handle Swine Flu-related cases.
Pilgrims from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh for this year’s Haj
will total about 4,50,000, according to Adnan Katib, president of
the Establishment for South Asian Pilgrims.
