The General Authority for the Care of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque, in cooperation with other government agencies working in the Grand Mosque, has intensified cleaning and drying of the Mataf area (circumambulation track) after the rainfall witnessed in Makkah yesterday amid early preparations to ensure the safety and security of worshippers and Umrah performers. The authority mobilized more than 200 supervisors and observers, 4,000 workers, and more than 500 pieces of equipment to deal with the rainy situation witnessed by the Grand Mosque yesterday. The Mataf, gates, and exits were all prepared and efforts were intensified to remove the water from the rains that fell. To ensure the thoroughness of the cleaning process, water suction and washing equipment were strategically distributed both inside and outside the Grand Mosque. This comprehensive approach was aimed at contributing effectively to the drying and hygiene process, thereby preserving the safety of the worshippers. Source: Saudi Press Agency
