Re-fixation of plane fare for hajj pilgrims demanded
Tahfij-e-Haramine Parishad Bangladesh yesterday demanded re-fixation of the jet plane fare for the hajj pilgrims at $1200 as the price of jet fuel has dropped significantly in the international market.
President of the organisation Maulana Sadek Ahmed Siddique said the price of crude oil dropped to $67 from $147, adding that many countries have already reduced the plane fare.
He further said this year the house rent in Mecca and Medina increased and other expenses for hajj pilgrims have also increased. So, the plane fare should be reduced in this regard.
