Ministry of Religious Affairs to formulate a pilgrimage policy?

The Ministry of Religious Affairs has reportedly completed its homework for cabinet approval by formulating a pilgrimage policy in Iraq and Iran, reports.

According to reports, a foolproof policy has been formulated for the pilgrims visiting Karbala-e-Maali, Najaf-e-Ashraf, Baghdad-e-Sharif, Mashhad and other holy places, under which only registered tour operators will be able to send pilgrims, while regular insurance of the pilgrims will also be provided. A record will be set.

If the policy is approved, offices will be set up in Iran and Iraq where visitors will be guided and visitors will be given identification pendants in the form of Pakistani flags. Accommodation will also be provided in Iraq. The transport operators will also be responsible for providing transport and food to the visitors. In case of any accident, financial compensation will be paid.

After the policy is approved, the registration of the tour operators will be done and the complaints of the visitors will be redressed: Sources.
