Prof. Shukoor said that the ongoing dispute between the Awqaf Committee HEH the Nizam and the Nazir of Hyderabad Rubat is yet to be resolved. The Haj Committee is receiving queries form pilgrims regarding their accommodation status in Hyderabad Rubat, as they have received allotment letters from Nazir of Rubat. He said that Haj committee of India Mumbai is of the opinion that since the accommodation letters are not issued by Haj committee of India through Awqaf Committee, therefore such letters are invalid. Thus, the pilgrims will not get exemption under Rubat Accommodation Scheme, he said.
