With Chennai not a boarding point, many have to travel to Kochi
Haj pilgrims in the State are worried about the new set of rules of journey to the birthplace of Prophet Mohammed in August 2021.
The last date for submitting application forms for the journey is said to be January 10, 2021.
Arif Ahmed, a resident of T. Nagar, who planned to make the trip in 2020, had to drop the idea because of the pandemic. “I then thought I could go in the coming year but we hear that the cost has more than doubled and with business being down this year, I just cannot afford it. The stay has become costlier due to their insistence on star category,” he said.
