The latest reports indicate that about 1,800 pilgrims from Telangana will depart for Saudi Arabia on June 20 to perform Hajj.
As part of the Hajj pilgrimage, the Telangana State Hajj Committee (TSHC) accepts applications, conducts draws, sends selected pilgrims to Saudi Arabia, monitors their stay, and ensures their safe return.
There will be approximately 1,800 pilgrims from Telangana departing for the Hajj pilgrimage. The Saudi Arabian government has reduced the quota as a result of the Covid protocol, so the number is very low.
Around 3,600 pilgrims will leave from Hyderabad’s embarkation point, including those from Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Maharashtra.
Starting June 20, the Hajj camp will last until the end of the month. The arrangements have been made for pilgrims whose flights are scheduled a day or two before the arrival date of their flight from the districts of Telangana and other states.
