Hajj Authorities Are Investigating Some Of The Meals That Were Served During the Pilgrimage
There has been a lot of discussion over some of the pre-made meals that were served to pilgrims during the ongoing Hajj.
Although everything else has been excellent, some pilgrims were reportedly served meals that weren’t of the best quality
The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah said the meals did not meet the conditions stipulated in related contracts in terms of preparing and serving the meals.
The ministry has said that some private Hajj service companies had contracted low-quality catering providers, breaching the contracted specifications.
Penalties will be meted out against the violators after an ongoing inquiry is completed
