MADINAH, 30 January 2003 — Madinah Governor Prince Muqrin has ordered the deportation of an expatriate driver for leaving pilgrims in their bus for one-and-a-half hours and delaying their journey without any justification.

The driver was alleged to have parked the bus under a fly-over in Madinah and locked the pilgrims in. The governor also ordered that the driver should not be paid any compensation.

A Haj Ministry panel also interrogated the guide accompanying the pilgrims for not taking alternative steps for the transportation of pilgrims.
