Monitoring of travel companies offering Umrah services has begun in Kyrgyzstan.
According to the State Commission for Religious Affairs, 29 travel companies have been accredited and authorized to organize trips in accordance with the Law «On Freedom of Religion and Religious Organizations» and the approved procedure for organizing pilgrimages to Saudi Arabia.
The agency noted that such companies will be held accountable under Article 142 of the Code of Offences.
