Pilgrims from Telangana are still waiting for the state‑promised Rs 10,000 airfare subsidy ahead of the Haj season.
The Telangana government has pledged a Rs 10,000 subsidy to cover part of the airfare for residents travelling to the annual Haj pilgrimage. As the departure window approaches, many pilgrims report that the promised funds have not yet been transferred, leaving them uncertain about covering the full travel cost.
State officials have previously announced the assistance as part of a broader effort to support the religious obligations of the Muslim community. However, logistical delays in processing the payments have created a backlog, prompting pilgrims to seek clarification from the department handling the scheme.
Community leaders have appealed to the government to expedite the disbursement, emphasizing that timely financial support is crucial for pilgrims to secure their seats on limited flight quotas. The situation remains under close watch as the Haj season draws nearer.
