LCD screens monitor Jamarat

MINA, Saudi Arabia, December 09, SPA – As part of this year’s plan to
ensure safety of all pilgrims, live audiovisual orientation programs
are shown to pilgrims in several languages, including Arabic,
English, Urdu and French.


The programs broadcast live coverage of the stoning ritual at
Jamarat Bridge over more than 700 television screens set up inside
the tents in Mina.


Omar Sulimani, a member of the South Asia Tawafa Organization told
Saudi Gazette that the idea is to show pilgrims which areas are the
most crowded before they head to Al-Jamarat Bridge.


“The South Asia Tawafa group is the biggest Tawafa organization.
Every Hajj, the organization’s tents are provided with live broadcast
to warn pilgrims of congestion in certain areas,” Sulimani said.
