Talking to  a local news agency here, Qammar  Sajjad, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) State Hajj Committee, said that 9762 aspirants were selected today in the Qurrah.

He added that in many districts including Rajouri, Poonch, Doda, Kishtwar, Kargil, Kathua, Ramban and Reasi, the number of applications were less, therefore all the applications were selected without going through Qurrah.

About the aspirants who are in waiting list, Sajjad said the trend of applicants across the country is less this year, therefore there are more chances for 1000-1500 aspirants who are in waiting list to perform Hajj this year.

“I appeal the Hajj aspirants to prepare themselves for the challenges they are going to face while performing Hajj this year,” he said. (KNS)
