Ministry will take strict punitive measures against a number of Travel Agencies, whether they are public or private, which are behind insulting the dignity of the Algerians through the flights that are organized for the benefit of Algerian pilgrims, Religious Affairs and Endowments Minister, Mohamed Issa, said.
“Sanctions that are expected are represented in the complete exclusion of organizing Rites’ Flights for a number of Travel Agencies, and other sanctions will be imposed on them by the ministry to a very temporary response to these agencies for the legal controls that that provide all means of comfort for Algerian pilgrims.”
Mohamed Issa also stressed in his visit to Biskra (Southern Algeria), that the sanctions that are implemented by the ministry will include a number of officials who were not in an acceptable level to maintain the dignity of the Algerian pilgrims by the Travel Agencies that tampered with the conditions of comfort of Algerian citizens during the performance of rituals.
“I would not
allow the humiliation of the dignity of pilgrims by some travel Agencies, and a list of travel agencies that will be finally or temporary excluded will be announced soon, as well as taking measures for revisiting the notebook of legal conditions for the exercise of the Hajj and Umrah for Travel Agencies.”
