Vasco: The haj committee of India, Goa, has written to the ministry of external affairs and the aviation ministry complaining about the delay in haj flights leaving Dabolim.
Mohammed Iqbal, president of Goa state haj committee, said, "there have been delays in every flight, causing
trouble to the hajis and creating confusion in their scheduled package." The special chartered Haj flights are supposed to fly on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. There are altogether 613 hajis leaving for Saudi Arabia. They include Goans and non-Goans.
On Thursday, while the flight with 232 Hajis was supposed to leave at 3.30am, it left only at 8.30pm. Mohammed said, "though there were some problems due to the flight handling, yet the airport authority and the CISF were active in helping the hajis."
