Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi held a crucial meeting about religious travel problems. The Special Task Force gathered to help pilgrims who want to visit Iran and Iraq. Officials shared good news about more flights being available for travelers. The government wants to make these sacred trips easier and safer for everyone. Naqvi made it clear that protecting pilgrims comes first.
Flight numbers to Iran jumped from six to fifteen each week. Iraq will receive 107 extra flights for the Arbaeen pilgrimage season. The task force talked about adding ferry boats as another travel option. These changes will help thousands of people reach their religious destinations. More transportation means fewer delays and problems for travelers.
The minister ordered the Federal Investigation Agency to stop illegal travel attempts. Some people try to sneak into Iraq pretending to be pilgrims. Stricter checks will catch these rule breakers before they cause trouble. The government wants only genuine religious travelers to make these journeys. Security agencies received orders to watch for fake pilgrims.
A major change starts January 1, 2026 for all religious trips. The old Salar system will disappear and Group Organizers will take over. Already 1,413 people have applied to become official group leaders. Each application goes through careful checking before approval. This new system will bring better control and safety to pilgrim travel.
