An Internet-based, user-friendly smartphone application has been launched to address the issue of missing Haj pilgrims.
Haj comitte has launched a new app named, 'Indian Haj Accommodation Locator Mobile App' for the comfort of people on this divine journey. Through this app, pilgrim will be able to access all the information related to the Haj yatra.
The “Indian Haj Accommodation Locator," compatible with both Android and Apple operating systems, has an icon reflecting colours of the national flag and can be downloaded for free via Google Play Store and the Mac app store.
Once downloaded, all you have to do is click on the icon and enter a pilgrim's cover number or passport number. You will get details about his/her accommodation, including building number, tent number or office number, plus an easy-to-follow satellite or a regular road map that will lead officials and volunteers to their location, in Mecca, Mina or Madina.
Every Indian pilgrim would, on arrival in Jeddah, be provided with a SIM card for use in that country and app will work only on that SIM.
By this app the consulate would constantly be in touch with the pilgrims, sending out text messages about important announcements.
With the help of this app, family members of pilgrims will also be able to track them and find their location.
With the constant increase in the number of Haj pilgrim this app is surely going to be beneficial.

As convoys of pilgrims flock from around the world to perform Umrah in Madinah, the journey for some can be more difficult than others.
Palestinian pilgrim, Khalil Hanoun, said that his people’s suffering from the aggressive Israeli occupation didn’t make them think twice about coming to the holy sites to perform Umrah.
“Traveling is a real hardship and many people don’t get that privilege because of the travel ban by the Israeli occupation,” he told Arab News. Hanoun lives in the West Bank city of Nablus and has come to Makkah by land.
“The trip took me 24 hours to reach Madinah and then we will head to Makkah for Umrah after paying our salutations to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) at the Prophet’s Mosque,” Hanoun said. Despite Israeli pressure on Palestinians’ lives, Hanoun confirmed that people are still challenging the difficulties and are staying steadfast in face of the Israeli aggression.
It’s Hanoun’s first visit to the Kingdom and he shared with Arab News his feelings of happiness and contentment.
“I visited Islamic and historical sites and famous mosques like Quba Mosque, the seven mosques, the two Qiblas, the Uhud battle site as well as other Islamic sites in Madinah,” he said.
Hanoun’s friend, Abdul Salam Tasluq, expressed his happiness to achieve a lifetime dream by visiting Madinah and praying in the Prophet’s Mosque.
The pilgrims said the journey didn’t cost them more than SR2,000. They extended their gratitude to the government of Saudi Arabia for the exceptional reception.

MAKKAH — The pilgrims accommodation committee has issued a total of 3,042 permits during the past five months for the accommodation of more than 1.2 million Umrah pilgrims.
The committee's chairman, Zuhair Al-Haddad, said the permits were issued to a number of hotels, buildings and towers in various neighborhoods that are within the parameters of the Grand Mosque.
“The committee will continue to issue accommodation permits until the end of Shaban (June 17),” he said.
The issuance of permits to accommodate pilgrims started on the first of Muharram 1436H (Oct. 25).
He said: “The accommodation of pilgrims is not limited to certain areas in Makkah.
“The only rule here is that the neighborhood should be within the boundaries of the Holy Haram.”
Haddad said development projects have helped demolish a number of old buildings that constituted threats to the safety of pilgrims.
He said the committee has about 20 engineering consultancy offices that will check the buildings before they are rented to accommodate the pilgrims.
“The pilgrims favor certain areas in Makkah.
“About 42 percent of them have opted for accommodation in Al-Aziziyah District while 18 percent favored Al-Otaibiyah and 14 percent the central area around the Haram.”
Haddad said even after the deadline for the issuance of the accommodation permits, the new buildings that were under construction at the time of the process can apply to accommodate the pilgrims when they are completed.
“The pilgrims always favor new buildings so when these buildings are completed, they can apply for accommodation permits until the beginning of Dhul Hijja (Sept. 14),” he said.
Haddad said the committee last year closed down 12 violating buildings and accommodated the pilgrims in other places.
