Saudi Arabia's Hajj Organizers (PPIH) 1444 H/2023 M have made three task forces (Satgas) for organizing Hajj this year. They will serve in Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina.
"In Armuzna or Masyair, three Task Forces will be divided into three Task Forces. There are Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina Task Forces. In each task force, 11 adhocs are formed which are filled with cassectors and lead 70 maktab," said Head of the Protection Division of the Congregation of Hajj Organizing Officers (PPIH) Harun Ar Rasyid, in the Madinah Working Area (Daker) reported by ANTARA, Sunday, June 11.
Harun admitted that with the large number of Indonesian pilgrims this year and the distance between the congregation's tents in Mina and the congregation's place, this year's PPIH made thorough preparations.
"Each corner will have an officer post, so that elderly pilgrims who are of special concern can be served well when carrying out the pilgrimage procession," said Harun.
At these posts, Harun continued, officers confirmed and directed the congregation from Mina's tent to the congregation or the road home.
Officers stationed at the post give special priority to the elderly, so that Indonesian pilgrims are targeted to reach the congregation's tents from other countries.
"Likewise, if something happens to the congregation, it can be immediately handled by relay at these posts. In every one post there are 15 to 17 officers," said Harun.
This year, said Harun, tents from other countries are close to Indonesian tents. There are even tents from Indonesia whose placement is a bit far away, namely in Mina Jadid.

The distance between Mina Jadid and the place where the number is thrown reaches seven kilometers. This distance must be forged on foot, so that it has the potential to pose a health and safety risk for pilgrims, especially the elderly.
The peak of the hajj will start on 8 Zulhijah 1444 H or 26 June 2023. On that date the pilgrims will depart from Makkah to Arafah. On 9 Zulhijah or 27 June, the congregation will wuskuf in Arafah.
