Tuesday, 23 December 2014



The government for the first time has introduced a provision for registration for pilgrims to perform Hajj next year, reports BSS.
"Under the provision, the ballottee hajj pligrims will have to deposit Taka 1,51,690 and the non-ballottee hajj pilgrims to pay Taka 1,48,331.50 to the concerned banks for registration by February 5, 2015 to perform their hajj in 2015," an official of the religious affairs ministry said on Monday.
The rest of the amount for the total hajj package money would also have to be deposited by June 10, he added.
Without registration, the official said, none would be allowed to visit Saudi Arabia for performing hajj.
