An Interior Ministry spokesman said on Friday that the security forces continue to perform their duties in protecting the pilgrims and ensuring their safety as they carry out the sacred rituals.

For pilgrims seeking to depart on the second day of Tashreeq, he urged them to remain in their tents until their departure times.

He underscored the Interior Ministry’s continued security and organizational efforts to ensure the safety of the pilgrims as they complete their holy journey.
