ISLAMABAD: Government of Pakistan will conduct second balloting to distribute additional 9,474 quota among the unsuccessful applicants of government’s hajj scheme on Monday (June 3).

According to the spokesman of the ministry of Religious Affairs, this quota will be allocated to the remaining applicants of Government Hajj Scheme, who were declared unsuccessful in recent balloting.

The second balloting was earlier scheduled on May 20 but was later postponed.

The applicants who had withdrawn their money would also be included in this balloting. The selected pilgrims would then be given four days to submit their money.

New applications will not be entertained in the second balloting, the sources said.
