Over 6,000 employees will be mobilized Thursday as the General Presidency of the Two Holy Mosques Affairs starts putting into action its plan for the Hajj season. The employees, 756 of whom are on the Presidency payroll while the rest are seasonal workers, will help implement arrangements for pilgrims to carry out pilgrimage rituals in safety and comfort. Authorities have asked all visitors to send comments on service standards via Fax number 025739992, or through the Presidency website www.gph.gov.sa Scouts are also offering their services to help the pilgrimage run smoothly. The Educational Zone in Namas is currently training 50 scouts in ambulance services, first aid, and ways to deal with pilgrims. The scouts are also being trained in map reading to guide lost pilgrims, the Arabic daily "OKAZ" reported.
