Due to Saudi permission time restrictions, the sources continued, the flight was also delayed for two hours as a result of these problems, but it still had to take off.
Ministry of Religious Affairs
On Monday, the pilgrims said that they had waited a day to receive their visas and have other matters fixed, but neither PIA nor the Ministry of Religious Affairs had responded to their complaints.
According to additional reports, the government’s approval is required in order to find a solution to the pilgrims’ situation.
