Hajj security force confirms ability to manage a strike force to preserve pilgrims safety

Hajj Security Force announced today that this year it is ready to manage a strike force to preserve pilgrims safety, citing a multi-plan view to tackle any security development during Hajj. In a press conference, the Commander of Hajj Security Forces Major General Saad bin Abdullah Al-Khelaiwi said his forces will do their best to implement the royal order of curbing illegal pilgrims from reaching Hajj zones. He gave an account on a number of measures taken to derail illegal pilgrims from reaching their goal, noting that Hajj security forces will be available at the Hajj zone border points to foil infiltration of illegals. He warned that tough penalties and fines will be enforced on those who provide cover-up for illegal pilgrims or help them reach the area, citing a law stating that the violator will be deported and prevented from coming back to Saudi Arabia before ten years. He explained a plan to avoid the negative impact of lessening the capacity of the Holy Haram by 50% due to the current reconstruction works to expand its capacity. He disclosed another plan to introduce high tech to the Haram-related facilities.
