Srinagar Feb 11 : “Haj forms have been made available on the official website of HcOI: https://hajcommittee.gov.in/haf23,” HCoI Member, Er Aijaz Hussain told news agency—. He said the forms are absolutely free of cost as already announced by the HCoI under its Haj policy 2023.

Er Aijaz said all the steps will be taken to provide as much as possible relief to the pilgrims performing Haj 2023. He said that under the Haj policy 2023, 25 Haj Embankment points will be set up across country to facilitate the pilgrims by all means. This year, as per the bilateral agreement between Government of India and Saudi Government, over 1,75000 pilgrims will perform the holy pilgrimage of Haj 2023.
