With the completion of the third phase of a high-tech Jamrat bridge project in Mina, the stoning ritual has been made much easier and trouble-free for the nearly three million pilgrims who are expected to perform Hajj this year. The SR4.2-billion facility can now accommodate 360,000 pilgrims per hour, according to a report published today by Arab News. “The project's third phase has been completed and is now ready for pilgrims to use for stoning the devil,” said Habeeb Zainul Abideen, Deputy Minister of Municipal and Rural Affairs.
