Pilgrims spend First Day of "Tashreeq"
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 28 - 11 - 2009

Pilgrims are spending the first day of "Tashreeq" days, which is the second day of Eid Al-Adha, in Mina, as part of Hajj rituals.
On this day, the Pilgrims will continue to stone the three Jamarats, starting with Smaller, then the Middle and finally Jamarat Al-Aqaba (Greater), following their stoning only at Jamarat Al-Aqaba yesterday.
Everything is proceeding ahead peacefully and in an organized manner, specially in the Jamarats area and the Jamrat Bridge, constructed with top engineering designs and modern specifications reflecting the comprehensive care and attention of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz in the service of pilgrims, according to a report of the Saudi Press Agency.
The Bridge is helping greatly in easing the smooth flow of the pilgrims to perform their Hajj stoning ritual at the Jamrat.
Moreover, the Security Forces decision to prevent stay of pilgrims at the Jamrat area also played a major role in ensuring the smooth movement at the Jamrat area. The other glaring feature this Hajj season was a clearly defined organizing of Pilgrims from various directions for those who will throw stones at the Jamrat, and after performing their rituals and their departures through different exists, avoiding any overcrowding.
