Pakistan Ends Caravan System, Introduces Official Agencies for Religious Visits
\n……………<\/p>\n
Pakistan\u2019s Federal Minister for Religious Affairs, Sardar Muhammad Yousuf, announced the accreditation of 24 official agencies to organize religious trips to Iran, Iraq, and Syria. This move aims to regulate travel and enhance services for pilgrims by ensuring that all travel is conducted through registered agencies providing transportation, accommodation, and food services. <\/p>\n
The decision follows the government\u2019s recent cancellation of the \u201cSalar\u201d system, which allowed caravan leaders to independently manage pilgrim groups. The change comes after reports that around 40,000 Pakistani citizens overstayed or went missing during visits to these countries over the past decade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
