The pilgrimage crisis

The plane has canceled 10 flights from July 27 to August 3 in the pilgrim crisis. This caused the devastation of Biman's fatal crash. Apart from this, six more fights are likely to be canceled till August 7. All six thousand 100 pilgrims were supposed to go to Saudi Arabia on these flights. According to the Bangladesh Air Force sources, the Saudi Aviation Authority will not give new slots this year. As a result, many hajj pilgrims have become uncertain this year. The Ministry of Religious Affairs has accepted the demand of 15 percent replacement of private agency owners to fight the disaster.

According to the agreement with Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh will get the chance to hajj 1 lakh, 26 thousand 198 people. Of these, six thousand 198 people will be in government management and 120,000 private management will go to Hajj. Biman Airlines and Saudia Airlines are sharing these passengers. Hajj fight started this year from July 14 this year. After that, the first few days were going naturally to the Hajj Fight. However, the hajj flight was canceled from July 27 on the passenger crisis. Biman canceled two flights that day.

After this, the aircraft has been forced to cancel 10 more dedicated flights in the last eight days till Friday. Biman authorities said four thousand pilgrims were supposed to go to Saudi Arabia on these flights. On this side, six more Hajj flights are expected to be canceled from tomorrow to 7 August. There are a total of 2,400 hajj pilgrims in these fights. But due to passenger crisis, fear of canceling the fight Biman Bangladesh General Manager (Public Relations) Shakil Meraaj told Naya Diganta, "Five thousand 700 tickets remained unregistered."

After the cancellation of 10 fights in the last eight days, the possibility of cancellation of six more flights by 7 August will be canceled. He said this is the provision of getting the air tickets before getting the visa this year, we started selling tickets 50 days before the start of Haj Feet. Then the private Hajj Agency owners repeatedly sent letters to buy tickets. But they have not yet spent all the tickets. Because of this, we were forced to cancel the fight. Shakil Meraaj said Saudi Arabia said they will not give any new slots this year. That is why many hajj pilgrims can become uncertain.

It is known that the aircraft was forced to cancel 24 Hajj flights without getting a passenger visa last year. The airlines, which are deprived of revenues of Tk 40 crore, are the state-owned airports.

Replacement 15 percent: After canceling a few Hajj flights in passenger shortfall, the government has reduced the hajj pilgrimage by seven percent to 15 percent by 15 percent. The Ministry of Justice issued the order to increase the limits of the transition on Thursday by accepting the demands of the Haj Agencies Association of Bangladesh (HAB) and Bangladesh Hajjatri and Haji Kalyan Parishad.

It is said that for Hajj agencies to transfer the maximum 15 percent hajj pilgrimage, they have to apply to the Haj Manager at their own pad on August 3 at 5 pm. This application must be confirmed online too. The certificate from the appropriate doctor should be submitted to the Hajj pilgrims who cannot perform Hajj due to the serious illness and death due to the replacement.

In order to obtain the replacement, no false information is given to the agency, a non-judicial stamp of 300 rupees must be submitted with the application of the affidavit. The Ministry of Religare has said that it will be verified after the Hajj whether it has been replaced by false information. At that time, the proof of the transfer of false information will be taken according to the rules, including the cancellation of the license of the Hajj agency.

If a registered pilgrim cannot go to Hajj every year due to unavoidable reasons like death or serious illness, instead of allowing any other registered person to send hajj, the agencies are given the opportunity to send them. That is why it is necessary to apply for a medical certificate and affidavit within a stipulated time.
