From next year, we will form a quick response team (QRT) that will oversee the arrangements and provide prompt solutions to any problems faced by Hajis,” said Danish Azad Ansari while speaking to HT.

In view of complaints from Haj pilgrims regarding accommodation in Mina, Saudi Arabia, Uttar Pradesh minister of state for minority welfare, Muslim waqf and Haj Danish Azad Ansari said a quick response team (QRT) would be formed from next year to address such issues promptly.

“This year during Haj, I received some complaints about the accommodation in tents in Mina. I ensured all the issues were resolved within hours even as I personally monitored the situation round the clock. However, from next year, we will form a QRT that will oversee the arrangements and provide prompt solutions to any problems faced by Hajis,” said Ansari, who also serves as the chairman of the State Haj Committee, while speaking to HT.

Ansari, who will receive the first batch of U.P’s Haj pilgrims arriving from Jeddah to Lucknow at around 12:35 am on Thursday via Air India flight (SV3106), said, “It’s a matter of joy that Hajis will start returning on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday. I will also seek their suggestions to improve the process from next year.”
