ISLAMABAD:The Ministry of Religious Affairs has declared 79,000 Hajj applications received to date as successful and has decided to continue accepting additional applications on a “first come, first served” basis for the remaining seats.

On Tuesday, a spokesperson for the Ministry provided updates, confirming that 79,000 applications have been successfully processed. Additionally, over 10,000 new applications have been submitted during the one-week extension.
