This was stated by Director Monitoring Khial Zad Gul, in an interview with Radio Pakistan's Special Correspondent Muhammad Akram Khan, in Makkah on Monday.

The Director said they impose penalty if a violation is observed on part of HGOs.

He said that they have a complete monitoring system to ensure implementation of the Service Provider Agreement.

However, action is taken on any complaint of a pilgrim.

He said total number of HGOs, which have been given Hajj quota this year, is 894. He said the Monitoring Cell of the Ministry of Religious Affairs has so far monitored over three hundred private companies.
