Authorities ban carrying water cans, bags in Masjid al-Haram

Makkah: The Saudi Arabia government has banned the carrying of water cans and bags inside the Grand Mosque Al-Haram.

Saif Al-Salmi, the caretaker of Masjid al-Haram gates, said that those who come to worship at Masjid al-Haram should take care of the relevant rules and regulations so that no one faces any problem.

Al-Salami stated in a conversation with Saudi TV Al-Akhbariya that the administration of Masjid al-Haram provides all possible facilities to the pilgrims.

All officials have been instructed not to allow anyone with water cans or large bags to enter the premises of Masjid al-Haram, added Saif.

This ban was imposed earlier too, but later when it was relaxed, people started bringing goods. As a result, others face severe hardships.

Many people also leave personal belongings in the corridors, resulting in problems for the passers-by.
