Bengaluru: According to authorities on Thursday, two pilgrims from Bengaluru are among the hundreds of people who perished during the Hajj trip in Saudi Arabia this year due to the extreme heat at Islamic holy sites in the kingdom of deserts.
According to them, the dead have been identified as RT Nagar resident Kouser Rukhsana (69) and Frazer Town resident Abdul Ansari (54).
Like many other Indians, the two pilgrims from Bengaluru perished from sunstroke and dehydration as a result of the extreme temperature.
The disaster happened at Mina Valley, which is outside of Mecca, when the pilgrims were allegedly participating in the Ramy al-jamarat (stoning of the devil) ceremony, according to S Sarfaraz Khan, Executive Officer of the Karnataka State Haj Committee, who spoke to PTI.
The individual used protocols and agreements with the Saudi Arabian government to assert that the remains of pilgrims who pass away while on pilgrimage are not repatriated.
According to Khan, "the relevant authorities have buried the bodies of both Rukhsana and Ansari there, and their spouses will also receive death certificates."
He said that on June 22, both of the victims and other pilgrims were supposed to return here.
Almost 10,300 of the almost 13,500 applications the state administration received this year were for Hajj pilgrimages.
