In a major policy shift, the interior ministers of Pakistan, Iran, and Iraq have agreed on new regulations aimed at streamlining and securing pilgrimage travel. Under the new rules, Pakistani pilgrims will no longer be allowed to travel to Iraq individually. Instead, all pilgrims must travel under the supervision of registered Group Organizers. The new system is intended to prevent illegal entries, reduce overstays, and enhance the overall pilgrimage experience through better logistical and administrative oversight.
