The Heritage Commission urged citizens and residents to report heritage sites that may not yet be registered within the framework of enhancing cooperation with the community through the Balagh platform, its official social media accounts, and its branches spread in all regions of the Kingdom, as a means of facilitating everyone's contribution to this national work.
