Karachi: A bus carrying around 40 Pakistani Haj pilgrims, belonging to Punjab’s Sialkot city, had an accident while traveling from Makkah to Madina on the morning of Saturday.
This was stated in a message received from Saudi Arabia.
It said that 31 intending Haj pilgrims sustained injuries and were admitted to hospitals. Their condition has been described as stable.
