Muslim Personal Law Board raises concerns over Hajj Mismanagement, Highlights inconvenience to Pilgrims
Muslim Personal Law Board of India national general secretary Moin Ahmed, in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has alleged that mismanagement has affected Haj pilgrims from across the country and that the Union Minority Affairs Ministry was responsible for the mess.
He has demanded a high-level inquiry into the matter.
Ahmed said right from issuing application forms to the return of pilgrims to the country, the entire responsibility was of the Haj Committee of India.
“The only reason for poor arrangement is unnecessary interference of Union minority affairs ministry in the work of the Haj Committee of India. Appropriate action should be taken after conducting a high-level inquiry into the matter,” he said in the letter.
“It is surprising such issues have come up with Muslims of the country just before the Lok Sabha elections,” Moin Ahmed said.
Moreover, the announcement of Haj-2023 was delayed by almost four months due to which everything got delayed and affected, he claimed.
Ahmed alleged that all the flights from Prime Minister Modi’s constituency Varanasi were cancelled.
Due to this, over 3,000 pilgrims from Varanasi and surrounding districts had to take flights from Lucknow, he further alleged. — IANS

Post-Election Power Woes: Load Shedding Plagues Kashmir Amid Political Transition
Power Struggles: Post-Election Load Shedding Leaves Kashmir Residents in the Dark By: Javid Amin Since the day the election results were declared, the electric supply in Kashmir has been playing a frustrating game of hide and seek, with heavy load shedding disrupting daily life. The recent elections brought a wave of hope and anticipation for positive change, but the reality of frequent power outages has cast a shadow over the optimism. Residents have been grappling with the erratic power supply, which has affected households, businesses, and essential services. "It's been a nightmare," says Aisha, a local shop owner. "We were hoping for a better future after the elections, but instead, we're dealing with constant power cuts." The region has a long history of power supply issues, often exacerbated by political transitions. The newly elected government has promised to address the problem, but the road to a stable and reliable power supply remains challenging. Energy experts point to outdated infrastructure, insufficient investment, and bureaucratic hurdles as key factors contributing to the load shedding. Despite the hardships, the community has shown remarkable resilience. Families have adapted to the power cuts by using alternative energy sources, and businesses have found creative ways to continue operating. However, the economic and social implications of the frequent outages cannot be ignored. The government has taken some initial steps to mitigate the issue, but the effectiveness of these measures remains to be seen. Critics argue that more comprehensive and long-term solutions are needed to ensure a stable power supply for the region. As the region navigates this challenging period, the hope for a brighter future persists. The election results may have brought new leadership, but the journey to overcoming the power crisis is far from over....
