He briefed the media on Monday that each pilgrim who performed Hajj this year would be given Rs. 150,000 under the government’s scheme, starting this Wednesday until the end of August.
Furthermore, he added that the details regarding the refund would be communicated to the pilgrims via SMS on their mobile phones.
