The Ministry said all the approved companies for the upcoming Haj are listed on its portal.

He said the authorities will take necessary measures against such companies.
It said more than 500,000 applicants have been received since June 3 and residents can apply till Wednesday, June 23. The results will be announced on Friday, June 25.
