Expansion
This year, 50 Muslim women will perform Hajj without male companions (Mehram). This time the number of women going on Haj pilgrimage alone has increased. Last year this number was only 39. Till the final list comes, the number of women performing Haj without Mehram may increase further. This is being considered a big step towards the social strength of Muslim women.
Delhi State Haj Committee Chairperson Kausar Jahan said that this year the pilgrims have been selected for Haj pilgrimage through digital random selection. 3022 Haj candidates have been selected from Delhi. On this occasion, he has congratulated all the people selected for Haj pilgrimage. He said that Delhi Haj Committee is committed to providing all types of facilities to the pilgrims like previous years.
