Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on Tuesday instructed the authorities concerned to launch the 'Hajj Management Centre' to make the Hajj pilgrimage easy, beautiful and safe and to provide round-the-clock services for the pilgrims.
He came up with this instruction at a meeting of the National Committee on Hajj Management at the State Guest House Jamuna in the capital at 5 pm.
The Chief Advisor said: "Almighty Allah has given us all an opportunity to make the holy Hajj easier; we should utilise this opportunity. Efforts should be made to ensure that not a single pilgrim faces any kind of suffering."
There are 1,275 hajj agencies having license in the country. Of those, 941 are agencies eligible for Hajj activities, while 753 agencies register pilgrims and 70 are lead agencies.
The Chief Adviser ordered to clearly write down the responsibilities of these agencies and publish those in the form of a booklet and online.
Noting that the government's responsibility is to ensure that the agencies perform their duties properly, and take strict action if they do not perform their due duties, he said the entire Hajj process should be simple and clear.
"What is the government's responsibility and what is the agencies' responsibility should be clearly written," he added.
