Riyadh, June 4 (IANS) Indian Haj pilgrims are assisted by ‘Team India’ officials as the movement to Mina from Mecca begins, marking the start of the Five-Day Core Haj Period in Saudi Arabia.
The team, in coordination with Saudi Authorities, is facilitating a smooth journey for all the pilgrims, underscoring India’s commitment to ensuring the well-being of all its citizens.
“Movement of Haj pilgrims to Mina started today! ‘Team India’ officials are on duty to facilitate the movement of Indian Haj pilgrims to smoothly avail the transport services to reach their designated camps in Mina,” the Indian Haj Pilgrims office posted on X on Wednesday.
Indian officials were assisting vulnerable Haj pilgrims in catching buses to Mina.
Union Minister of Minority Affairs Kiren Rijiju extended wishes to the Indian pilgrims performing Haj and ensuring assistance to them as the journey to Mina begins.
“My heartfelt wishes to all Indian pilgrims performing Haj this year. Our Haj Mission, led by officials & teams, is fully prepared in coordination with Saudi authorities.
