Hanan Mohammed, a female security worker, lauded the efforts of the Saudi Ministry of Interior. She expressed happiness and pride in being able to manage Umrah during the holy month of Ramadan. People also appreciated the efforts and work of the female workers.

Sheikh Dr Abdulrahman Al Sudais, General President of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and Prophet’s Mosque, lauded the leadership efforts of Saudi Arabia. He thanked the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman for their support in managing the Umrah season.

During the holy month of Ramadan, Saudi Arabia designated security personnel around the holy sites to manage the crowds performing Umrah. They help to prevent stampedes at the holy sites. According to the Kingdom’s Director of Public Security Lieutenant General Mohammed bin Abdullah al-Bassami, security has planned strategies to control traffic, provide humanitarian services, and train personnel on the ground. Muslims across the world have travelled to the Kingdom to undertake Umrah.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia arrested eight expatriates for promoting fake Umrah campaigns during the holy month of Ramadan. Police officers accused them of copying and printing offices as their headquarters to carry out the fake Umrah campaigns.
