"Today, the first flight of Haj 2024 will depart for Madinah at 2:20 am in the morning (May 9) with 285 people onboard. I congratulate all of them," Delhi State Haj committee chairperson Kausar Jahan told ANI.
Speaking on the occasion, the Minister said various Ministries in the NDA government have made coordinated efforts to provide a smooth and convenient Haj pilgrimage to people.
A total quota of 1,75,025 pilgrims from India has been finalised for Haj this year on Sunday, after India signed the Bilateral Haj Agreement 2024 with Saudi Arabia (KSA) at Jeddah.
