There will be no Haj pilgrimage from India this year too. State Haj Committee Chairman C. Mohammed Faizy said on Saturday that Saudi Arabia decided not to permit any pilgrims from other countries in view of the COVID-19 spread. Although Saudi Arabia restricted this year’s Haj to 60,000 pilgrims, there was hope among Indians that at least 5,000 pilgrims would be allowed from India. “The new decision by the Saudi government has dashed all our hopes,” said Mr. Faizy. Only those in Saudi Arabia will be allowed to perform Haj this year under rigorous restrictions for COVID.
