Srinagar, May 24:Awami Itihaad Party (AIP) Senior Leader and MLA Langate Sheikh Khursheed expressed deep concern over what he called \u201cunjustified and avoidable suffering\u201d being inflicted upon pilgrims. \u201cIt is unacceptable that pilgrims who have paid nearly \u20b965,000 more than those flying directly from Delhi are forced into exhausting delays under unbearable conditions,\u201d he said. \u201cThis reflects a serious lapse in planning and a clear case of insensitivity towards the elderly and devout.\u201d Sheikh Khursheed further added that repeated appeals for a smoother journey, including efforts to ensure a stopover in Madina, were ignored despite exhaustive attempts with relevant authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adding to the woes, pilgrims from JK in Saudi Arabia have reported dismal living conditions. \u201cContrary to the tall promises made by the Haj Committee at Srinagar, the ground reality is disheartening,\u201d said Sheikh Khursheed. \u201cPilgrims are crammed into small, suffocating rooms with inadequate washroom facilities and no basic amenities.\u201d He called the situation a reflection of \u201cgross mismanagement.\u201d AIP has urged authorities to intervene immediately and ensure that pilgrims are treated with the dignity, care, and respect they deserve on this sacred journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
