In a major development, India has become the first nation in the world to have digitised the entire process for the Haj 2020 pilgrimage, reports Asian News International (ANI).
A stream of digital applications have been operationalised by the Government of India's Ministry for Minority Affairs to ensure that the pilgrims for the 2020 Haj pilgrimage get to experience a hassle-free and easy digital process.
The announcement of the development was made by Union Minister for Minority Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, who shared that an online e-visa application, a Haj mobile application, a health facility application called 'e-MAHISA' and an application for 'e-luggage pre-tagging' providing all information about accommodation and transportation will be provided to two lakh Indian Muslims going for pilgrimage in 2020.
Minister Naqvi also shared that the Government has established a 100 line information centre at the Haj House in Mumbai so as to provide all kinds of information about the process for Haj pilgrimage.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
