Pakistan is set to host a large-scale Dawoodi Bohra community gathering in Karachi from July 7 to 16, 2024. The event is expected to attract over 39,000 community members from around the world, including 16,000 from India.
The Pakistani government has implemented extensive measures to facilitate the attendance of international participants. These include establishing WhatsApp groups through Pakistani embassies worldwide for effective communication and assistance.
A special visa processing protocol has been put in place, prioritizing applications from Bohra community members globally. This has resulted in approximately 16,000 visa applications from India alone.
Various government agencies have collaborated to develop a coordinated strategy for the event's logistical requirements, including transportation and accommodation arrangements. Safety measures have also been ensured to create a conducive environment for all participants.
This gathering serves as a platform for cultural exchange and mutual understanding, promoting global harmony and cooperation. The government's active facilitation has set a benchmark for future international events of this nature.
