Majed Al-Mufdhali Okaz/Saudi Gazette MAKKAH – Seven fake Haj service companies have been caught for violating regulations and cheating more than 1,000 pilgrims out of their money, according to Dr. Bandar Hajjar, Minister of Haj. He said the ministry's monitoring committees would continue to pay surprise visits to Tawafa establishments. Dr. Al-Hajar was present physically in Arafat and Muzdalifah to ensure that the movement of pilgrims to Arafat and back to Mina went smoothly. He gave his directives to concerned authorities within the ministry to see that all tasks are carried out according to the operational plan. Over 250 committees were tasked with patrolling the streets and districts of Makkah to ensure that all pilgrims moved to Arafat and no one was left behind, Hajjar said.
