The government has suspended the training program for future Haj pilgrims as part of a preventive measure against the spread of coronavirus.
Radio Pakistan quoted Minister for Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony Dr Noorul Haq Qadri as saying that the decision has been taken following ban on gatherings in wake of coronavirus outbreak in the country.
He said all Haji camps across the country have been informed about this decision.
However, the minister clarified that arrangements for Haj 2020 are underway as per routine and the government is in contact with Saudi government in this regard.
