The Cabinet also decided to send a government team to Saudi Arabia, led by Minority Welfare Minister Mohammed Azharuddin. An AIMIM MLA and a senior Minority Welfare Department official will join the delegation. Two family members of each deceased pilgrim will also be taken to Saudi Arabia to oversee final rites.
