New Delhi: Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti has welcomed the decision of the Central Government to substantially reduce the airfare for the Hajj pilgrims from India from this year.
Thanking the Centre, particularly Prime Minister, Narendra Modi for the decision, the Chief Minister said the move would balance the cost escalation due to withdrawal of subsidy early this year.
It may be mentioned here the reduction in airfare will be applicable to passengers on Air India, Saudi Airlines and Flynas, an air carrier based in Saudi Arabia, to Jeddah and Medina from 21 airports in India.
The slash in airfare ranges from Rs. 20, 000 to Rs. 97, 000 and Hajj pilgrims from Srinagar Embarkation Point would be the biggest beneficiaries of this decision.
