Riyadh: The Ministry of Municipalities and Housing has intensified its operational and field monitoring plans in coordination with Holy Makkah Municipality during the 1447 AH Hajj season. The efforts are part of an integrated ecosystem aimed at enhancing public health, improving the efficiency of municipal services, ensuring environmental safety, and providing comprehensive services to pilgrims in Makkah and the holy sites.
According to Saudi Press Agency, the operational plan includes monitoring and field activities across three main areas: cleanliness and public health, environmental sanitation, and safety. These efforts are carried out through specialized teams and joint operations rooms that oversee field performance and submit daily reports to ensure rapid response and address any operational issues.
Field inspections cover various locations in Makkah and the holy sites. The inspections focus on public hygiene, environmental sanitation, and pest control to strengthen preventive health measures and maintain a healthy environment during the Hajj season. The plan also includes intensified food safety inspections at catering kitchens and related facilities, in coordination with relevant authorities, in addition to monitoring compliance with health and environmental regulations and boosting field readiness to address reports and operational challenges throughout the season.
These efforts complement the comprehensive preparations implemented by the municipalities of Makkah, Jeddah, Madinah, and Taif through operational and field plans aimed at raising readiness levels in cities and the holy sites and enhancing the efficiency of municipal and health services provided to pilgrims during Hajj 1447 AH. The ministry affirmed that these efforts reflect the leadership's commitment to providing the highest standards of service and care for pilgrims by mobilizing all available human, operational, and technological resources, ensuring pilgrims can perform their rituals with ease and peace of mind while demonstrating the high level of governmental integration in managing the Hajj season.
