        "summary": "Indonesia's Minister of Hajj and Umrah, Mochamad Irfan Yusuf, has assured that the recent rise in aviation fuel (avtur) prices will not affect the departure of Hajj pilgrims, which remains scheduled for 22 April following entry into dormitories on 21 April. Any additional costs arising from the price hike will be covered by state finances, potentially from the national budget, without burdening the pilgrims, as negotiations continue with airlines like Garuda and Saudi authorities to determine the actual increase. Additionally, the distribution of luggage to pilgrims is set to be completed by 17 April, with the ministry issuing warnings and assistance to companies for previous delays.",
