Hajj quota: 1031 seats increased
Thiruvananthapuram: Minister PK Kunhalikutty said the central government has increased the hajj quota for Keralites after several requests to union government and the central hajj committee.
Kerala will get 1031 seats more. The state quota was 6487 seats and this year as many as 49,420 people applied for Hajj.
Kunhalikutty stated that though applicants in reserve quota too are not able to travel, he sought for an increase.
Kerala's stand is that instead of allotting hajj seats on the basis of population, it should be allotted on the basis of number of applicants from each state. With this the total number of seats would be 7,518.
