Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has written to Union Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu over difficulties being faced by Haj pilgrims returning from Saudi Arabia to Jammu and Kashmir after performing the annual pilgrimage.
In his letter, Omar said the pilgrims, many of whom are elderly and have undertaken the spiritual journey after years of devotion, preparation and aspiration, have expressed “considerable concern regarding the arrangements made for the transportation of their checked-in baggage upon their return.”
“It has been learnt that due to ongoing maintenance works and operational constraints at Srinagar Airport, the checked-in baggage of the pilgrims could not be transported on the same flights carrying them back to Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.
“The baggage is being routed separately and transported by road from Ahmedabad, which is expected to result in a significant delay in its delivery to the pilgrims after their arrival,” Omar added.
The Chief Minister said the situation has caused considerable disappointment and inconvenience to the returning Hajis and their families.
