The Hajj Organizing Committee (PPIH) has demonstrated a scanner for goods such as X-rays to check the luggage of prospective pilgrims at the Jakarta embarkation.

"Here, before the congregation's suitcase was brought to the airport, we provided X-ray devices. All suitcases and luggage were checked before leaving," said PPIH Chairman of the Jakarta Embarkation Cecep Khairul Anwar at Pondok Gede Hajj Dormitory, Jakarta, Tuesday, May 23, confiscated by Antara.

Cecep said the inspection was carried out to ensure that prospective hajjes were not carrying items that according to flight regulations should not be brought on board.

Items that are not allowed to enter the trunk of the aircraft include exploding items, fluids or solid flammable objects, chemicals or toxic substances, dense gas, objects that can injure, live plants, weapons, and ready-to-eat food with a fireless heating system. "We are also working with customs and immigration. We have carried out manasik guidance and conveyed flight rules," said Cecep who is also the Head of the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion of the DKI Jakarta Province.

The congregation of the first flying group (cluter) Hajj candidates for the Jakarta Embarkation on Tuesday, May 23, underwent administrative examinations and a third phase of health checks.

After that, they will rest at the Hajj Dormitory until the time of departure to the airport arrives.

The first batch of prospective Jakarta Embarkation Hajj pilgrims is planned to be dispatched to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, Banten, at around 19.00 WIB.

They are scheduled to leave for Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, May 24 at 00.30 WIB.

PPIH Embarkation Jakarta checks the luggage of prospective pilgrims before being taken to the airport.

"God willing, with our efforts there will be no pilgrims carrying prohibited items," he concluded.
