State Haj Committee chairman Syed Khaleeluddin Ahmed has appealed to those selected Haj pilgrims who have, so far, not remitted the first instalment of the Haj fees of Rs 76,000 per person, to pay the advance on or before July 13, 2013.
He stressed on the fact that failing to pay the fees will result in their seats being cancelled.
The Chairman, in a statement, said that the last date of payment of the advance Haj fees had been fixed as May 20, 2013, and had later been extended till May 31, 2013.
"However, as many as 280 provisionally selected Haj pilgrims from the state are yet to remit their advance Haj fees", he said.
The pilgrims have been informed via text messages that they need to pay up and that too, as quickly as possible. (INN)
