MAKKAH MUKRRAMAH, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 8th May, 2026) The Pakistan Hajj Mission in Makkah has implemented exceptional transport arrangements to facilitate pilgrims in offering Friday prayers at Masjid al-Haram. These measures were personally supervised by Chief Coordinator Hajj Operations, Mirza Ali Mahsud, and Coordinator Makkah, Zulfiqar Khan, to ensure transparency and a smooth flow of operations.

Prior to the Friday prayers, specific guidelines were issued to pilgrims emphasizing the importance of discipline, strict adherence to timings, and proper queuing to prevent any untoward incidents despite the massive influx of worshippers.

According to a spokesperson for the Ministry of Religious Affairs, while the general formula established by Saudi authorities allows all countries one bus for every 250 pilgrims, the Pakistan Hajj Mission secured a special concession following a formal request.

A formula of one bus for every 150 individuals was approved specifically for Pakistani pilgrims. This additional arrangement aims to shield pilgrims from travel hardships and provide maximum comfort, resulting in a highly organized and swift return of thousands of pilgrims to their residences following the prayers.
