Hajj Monitoring System launched for prompt resolution of intending pilgrims’ complaints

ISLAMABAD, May 30 (APP): An updated electronic monitoring system has been launched by Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony for promptly resolving intending Hajj pilgrims’ complaints and monitoring overall Hajj operations with the aim to improve quality of services.

The Ministry’s inspection Team would monitor the overall performance of Hajj operations.
The complaints could also be registered through on-line complaint registration portal. The monitoring and supervision mechanism for Hajj operation in Pakistan and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) was being strengthened to check/review the performance of Government and HGOs Schemes, in accordance with the contractual obligations and Hajj rules of Saudi Arabia.
