No change in air fare for Haj pilgrims

New Delhi: The Centre has decided not to increase the airfare of Haj passengers, allaying fears that the burden of increased aviation fuel cost will be passed on to the pilgrims also.
“The fare to be charged from the pilgrims for Haj 2008 will continue to be Rs.12,000 a pilgrim.
There will be no increase,” Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Priyaranjan Dasmunsi said after the Cabinet meeting here on Thursday.
