Nepali Muslims performing Hajj to drop this year

Nepali Muslims might not make it this year to the traditional Hajj pilgrimage to Makkah. In 2007 405 of them left Kathmandu for the holy city. This year that number might drop to only 33.The gates to the city might be closed after Saudi authorities decided to shut down the more dilapidated buildings in Kawasaripha, accommodation hub for visiting pilgrims, in order to build new ones. The decision is aimed at improving crowd controls for the millions of pilgrims who come, but it has a negative impact on low-income pilgrims who can only afford cheap accommodations. For would-be hajjis the cost of finding lodgings in the holy city would top US$ 800. Accustomed to spending US$ 200 at most, not all Nepali Muslims can afford to live in five star hotels. The Saudis have already rejected a Nepali proposal to house Nepali pilgrims in accommodations farther from Makkah. Nepals domestic situation is also complicating matters. Members of the Nepali Hajj committee are unhappy with secular policies of the Maoist government which according to them do not adhere to Muslim guidelines.
