The new setup was made with a view to ensuring the success of the Haj season providing the guests of God with all services to enable them to perform the fifth pillar of Islam in ease and comfort.

Al-Bar said the municipality would deploy all its resources and had made the necessary arrangements to ensure the guests of God with all facilities and services. He added that qualified cadres had been chosen to carry out the municipality’s Haj plan.

Under the new arrangements, Al-Bar will supervise the execution of the plan. Khaled Al-Haij, undersecretary for constructions and projects, and Abdul Salam Al-Mashshat, undersecretary of services, have been appointed deputy supervisors.

Al-Bar said assistant undersecretaries, department directors, heads of branch municipalities and chairmen of committees would all be working in the execution of the Haj plan in addition to running their daily duties in the municipality.

“We have chosen the experienced and highly qualified personnel to work on the execution of the plan aimed at extending consummate services to pilgrims,” he said.
