Prof Yunus launches new hajj app ‘Labbaik’
Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus yesterday said the mobile app “Labbaik” is ready to provide services for hajj pilgrims and will play a crucial role in ensuring they can perform their religious duties smoothly.
He made this statement while inaugurating the app, which has been developed under government management for the first time, at the state guest house Jamuna.
The app features include emergency support, weather updates, flight information, location tracking, and accommodation information.
Urging pilgrims to use the app, the chief adviser said, “It will be helpful in performing religious duties, offering various services including health services, and will significantly aid Hajj pilgrims in fulfilling their obligations without difficulty.”
Meanwhile, the first Hajj flight of Biman, carrying 419 passengers, is scheduled to depart from Dhaka airport at around 3:00am today, said Bushra Islam, general manager (public relations) of Biman.
According to the Ministry of Religious Affairs, a total of 87,100 pilgrims from Bangladesh have registered for Hajj this year. This year’s Hajj is expected to take place on June 5, subject to the sighting of the moon.
