The number of Haj applications received under the government scheme in Pakistan has been disappointing, with far fewer applications than usual submitted in the initial days.

They attribute the low demand to inflation and the fact that Haj is scheduled for June, which is six months earlier than usual.<p data-sourcepos="31:1-31:210" style="margin: 24px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word; color: rgb(31, 31, 31); font-family: &quot;Google Sans&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The ministry had sought early applications to streamline Haj arrangements, but the response has been l
