Mina, Dhu-AlHijjah 10, 1435, Oct 4, 2014, SPA -- Major General Mansour Al-Turki, security spokesman of the Ministry of Interior, said today that the process of transporting pilgrims over the last 24 hour went smoothly. In his second press conference on the progress of Hajj, Al-Turki said the transportation of pilgrims to ascend to Arafat and then down to Muzdalifah and Mina before going to perform the circumambulation ritual around Kaaba, one of the pillars of Hajj, in Makkah was done in comfort and tranquility. "This Hajj season is distinguished despite of the larger numbers of the pilgrims who came to seize an opportunity to perform Hajj on Friday. The smooth and speed of the pilgrims' movements are achieved due to the great projects in the holy sites and the Holy Mosque in Makkah. These projects reflect keenness of the Custodian of the Two holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud for providing all capabilities and services to the pilgrims," Al-Turki said, --More 21:19 LOCAL TIME 18:19 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
