MAKKAH \u2013 Deputy Minister of Hajj and Umrah, Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak,\nhas revealed concerns surrounding reports of pilgrim discomfort\nregarding tent management during the Armuzna phase (Arafah, Muzdalifah,\nand Mina). Dahnil suspects sabotage by certain parties deliberately\nremoving name lists from tents in Arafah and Mina, causing chaos.<\/p>\n
He explained that the ministry had prepared thoroughly by affixing\nname lists to each tent for orderliness. However, during implementation\non the ground, these orderly sheets mysteriously disappeared due to\nbeing removed by irresponsible individuals.<\/p>\n
\u2018The key point is that in Arafah, we must re-establish order in tent\nmanagement. There has been disorder, such as with the data. We tried to\nput name lists on the tents, but they keep being removed. There\u2019s\ndisorder, some people deliberately remove them and disrupt the order,\nand the same in Mina,\u2019 Dahnil Anzar told reporters in Mina on Saturday,\n30 May 2026.<\/p>\n
According to Dahnil, the disappearance of the name lists is not\nmerely a technical issue or accidental. His ministry sees strong\nindications that certain individuals intentionally aim to create\nconfusion to make tent management appear disorganised.<\/p>\n
\u2018Because we have affixed the name lists here, indicating who should\nbe where, but they are being removed. We suspect some parties are trying\nto disrupt the good management,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
Beyond internal tent issues, Dahnil also highlighted movement\nproblems for pilgrims in Muzdalifah. The queue system, which was\norganised based on transit and regular mabit schemes, was disrupted due\nto impatience, exacerbated by provocation on the ground.<\/p>\n
\u2018In Muzdalifah, for example, we have designated who should transit\nand who should stay overnight. However, pilgrims often become impatient\nwith the queue for departure from Muzdalifah to Mina. This disorder is\nsometimes worsened by provocation on the ground. Therefore, we must\nimprove all these aspects in the future,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
In response to these findings and disruptions, Dahnil assured the\nministry would not stand idly by. A full review will be conducted to\ntighten oversight for future Hajj operations.<\/p>\n
He instructed all frontline officers to be stricter and more cohesive\nto counteract moves by those trying to disrupt the pilgrims\u2019\nrituals.<\/p>\n
\u2018Officers must be stricter and more united to manage the issues\narising in the coming years,\u2019 Dahnil said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/deputy-minister-alleges-deliberate-removal-of-tent-name-lists-causing-pilgrim-discomfort-in-arafah-and-mina-1780281471", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
