For the upcoming Hajj, 5000 slots have been allocated for those participating through the sponsorship program and the rest of the pilgrims will be part of the regular Hajj scheme.

It is expected that Minister for Religious Affairs Chaudhry Salik Hussain will formally unveil the complete details of the Hajj policy in the coming days.

After the Hajj draw, the pilgrims will have to pay the second installment of Rs 4 lakh, the remaining amount will have to be paid by the second week of February.
