Uttar Pradesh Haj Committee Unveils New Plans For 2025 Pilgrimage

Mohsin Raza, Chairman of the Uttar Pradesh State Haj Committee and former minister, has announced a series of new measures aimed at enhancing the Haj pilgrimage experience for 2025.

During a review meeting held at the State Haj Committee office in Sarojini Nagar, Raza outlined several key changes and improvements in the pilgrimage arrangements.

One of the significant updates is the introduction of state-wise arrangements in Mecca, which aims to streamline and ease the pilgrimage experience for devotees.
