This is in response to the article “Mina ready to welcome Hajis,” in Saudi Gazette (Sept. 21). During my Haj pilgrimage, I faced problem because of not knowing Arabic and police on duty were not able to understand English. If few officer trained in English are deputed, especially in Mina and Muzdalifa, it will be very helpful to the Haj pilgrims, who sometimes get lost. I would also like to offer my congratulations and express my gratitude to Saudi authorities for the excellent arrangements. Mohammed Ashraf Gigani, Online response
