The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister on Tuesday wrote a DO letter the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to confirm entire applicants’ numbering about 6028 for their pilgrimage during the current year.
In his letter the Chief Minister mentioned that “State Hajj Committee has received 6,028 applications for Hajj 2020, including 7 infants, against a quota of 3,736 numbers allotted to Tamil Nadu, by the Hajj Committee of India. The remaining pilgrims are hopeful that all their Hajj applications will get confirmed for Hajj 2020. A good number of vacancies are expected to be available since many States have not utilised their full quota due to many reasons including cancellations. Hence, I request you to instruct the Ministry of Minority Affairs to confirm all the 6,028 Hajj applications recommended by the Tamil Nadu State Hajj Committee for Hajj 2020, the letter said.
