Iraq has increased the quota for Pakistani pilgrims
August 8, 2024
Iraq has increased the quota for Pakistani pilgrims and eliminated the requirement to surrender passports, significantly easing travel for those attending Arbaeen.
This decision comes after a high-level meeting between Pakistan’s Interior Minister.
The measures aim to streamline the pilgrimage experience, making it more accessible for thousands of devotees journeying to Iraq for Arbaeen, observed 40 days after the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (RA).
These changes are expected to enhance convenience and support for pilgrims.
