Indian Haj Mission Service

       There are 9 branch dispensaries and 9 branch offices for the convenience of pilgrims opened by the Consulate in various areas which house Indian pilgrims at Makkah. All Indians are welcome to use these facilities. Additionally there is a main Indian Haj Office and main Hospital at the Jabl-e-Ka’ba area of Makkah.

       Knowing the telephone numbers of branch office, branch dispensary, main Indian Haj office and main Indian dispensary along with the telephone number of Maktab and the contact telephone numbers of friends or relatives in Makkah, Madinah and Jeddah will definitely prove useful at times of need.  Some loose change (coins) which can be used in case of need to telephone any of these places will come handy. Telephone facilities are available in great abundance in Makkah and Madinah. There are a number of manned telephone  booths which accept Riyal notes.  

        Indian Haj office runs computerized data base of all pilgrims and their places of accommodation. A pilgrim can be located with the punching of a key. All it takes is a visit or a call to the Indian branch office.   Some but not all branch offices also have free internet facilities for the pilgrims.

         There are also the Task Force officials who would be wearing 'India" marked jackets, T-shirts and caps. There only duty is to move around the Haram Sharif area and be available to the pilgrims to help and guide them. So the pilgrims should be advised to locate them and seek their help and guidance freely without hesitation.
