Pakistan is set to introduce a new policy, ‘Ghar Se Ghar Tak’, to ensure greater support and facilitation to pilgrims traveling for Hajj in 2025.
The initiative, aimed at improving the overall Hajj experience, will provide a comprehensive service to pilgrims from their departure in Pakistan to their return.
Under this policy, official guides, known as nazmeen, will be appointed to assist pilgrims throughout their journey. A total of 600 nazmeen will be designated, with one guide assigned for every 150 pilgrims.
These guides will accompany pilgrims from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia and back, providing them with vital assistance during the journey and performing Hajj rituals.
In addition to guiding pilgrims, the nazmeen will facilitate accommodation arrangements in Saudi Arabia and offer support during the Hajj rituals.
The Ministry of Religious Affairs stated that the guides will be instrumental in ensuring that pilgrims can carry out their religious duties with ease and efficiency.
Once the flight schedule for Hajj 2025 is announced, pilgrims will be informed about their assigned nazmeen.
A few days ago, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif issued strict directives for special preparations for Hajj 2025, emphasizing that no negligence in serving pilgrims will be tolerated.
The prime minister chaired a review meeting on the preparations for Hajj 2025. He reiterated that pilgrims are guests of Allah and ensuring their comfort is the government’s top priority.
During the briefing, the prime minister ordered that a full report on Hajj preparations be submitted in the coming days. He also emphasized that highly reputable officials should be appointed for Hajj duties, ensuring transparency and efficiency in the process.
