Special polio camp

The State Haj Committee has made arrangements for administering polio drops to Haj pilgrims on October 29 and 30 between 10 a.m to 5 p.m at Haj House. Pilgrims who have not yet taken the polio drops may approach the special polio camp as it is mandatory for grant of Haj visa, Haj Committee chairman Hafiz Peer Shabbir Ahmed said in a statement. This facility for those undertaking pilgrimage through private tour operators would be arranged separately and dates would be announced later.
