Jammu and Kashmir's Hajj 2023 saw several significant firsts, with the highest number of pilgrims sent, 115 women performing Hajj without a Muharram, and the highest fare paid by pilgrims from Kashmir. However, the event was marred by mismanagement and inadequate facilities, as pilgrims faced challenges with overcrowded and ill-equipped accommodations, lack of basic amenities, and extreme temperatures. Despite some issues being addressed, the discontent among pilgrims was evident, raising concerns for future Hajj arrangements. Additionally, an increase in the number of deaths during the pilgrimage was attributed, in part, to lifting the ban on elderly pilgrims.
