        "summary": "Indonesian Hajj officials have been deployed at five critical points in Mina to support pilgrims during the peak Hajj period, particularly the stoning ritual at Jamarat. With walking distances reaching up to 28 kilometres daily, the government has enhanced services including food, tent arrangements, and transport to ensure safety and order. The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah and DPR oversight teams have urged pilgrims to maintain health and follow schedules to avoid congestion.",
        "content": "<p>Hajj Service Officers (PPIH) will be stationed at multiple points to\nassist Indonesian pilgrims during the peak Hajj period in Mina,\nparticularly during the stoning ritual at Jamarat. This precautionary\nmeasure is taken as the Mina phase is one of the most physically\ndemanding for pilgrims. The officers will be deployed across five key\npositions along the Jamarat route. Pilgrims needing assistance can\neasily identify them by their brown uniforms and hats. Deputy Minister\nof Hajj and Umrah Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak has urged Indonesian pilgrims\nto prepare their physical stamina and get adequate rest to cope with the\nlong walking routes from Mina to Jamarat. \u201cFrom the farthest tents at\nBase 12 to Jamarat, it\u2019s approximately 3.5 kilometres one way, meaning a\nround trip of 7 kilometres daily,\u201d Dahnil said while inspecting tent\nfacilities in Mina and the Jamarat route in Saudi Arabia on Saturday (23\nMay). The Mina phase requires significantly more physical movement\ncompared to the wukuf in Arafah and mabit in Muzdalifah, where pilgrims\nmostly remain stationary for prayer and remembrance. Dahnil detailed\nthat pilgrims opting for nafar awal (early departure) will walk\napproximately 21 kilometres in total, while those choosing nafar tsani\n(second departure) will cover around 28 kilometres. The presence of\nofficers along these critical routes is expected to ensure pilgrim\nsafety. Dahnil urged them to remain calm and stay in groups. \u201cImportant\ninformation for our Hajj pilgrims on this route: please stay calm and\nmove in groups. If assistance is needed, brown-uniformed officers will\nbe stationed along the way for easy contact,\u201d Dahnil said. (Z-10) Saudi\nHajj Service Officers are inspecting the tunnels leading to Jamarat, the\nstoning site in Mina, Mecca. Meals served include Nusantara flavours\nsuch as chicken rendang, beef rendang, chicken opor, and nasi uduk,\nprepared using high-tech retort pressure cooking technology. The\nMinistry of Hajj and Umrah (Kemenhaj) is tightening tent arrangements in\nArafah ahead of the Hajj peak to ensure all 2026 pilgrims receive fair,\norderly, and equal service. The Hajj Oversight Team of Indonesia\u2019s House\nof Representatives (DPR RI) has urged 241,000 Indonesian pilgrims to\nmaintain health and avoid strenuous activities before the peak Hajj days\nin Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina. The Shalawat bus service, which\ntransports Indonesian pilgrims from hotels to Masjidil Haram, has\ntemporarily halted operations from 6pm Saudi time on Friday (22 May)\nahead of the 2026 Hajj peak. Amirulhaj member Muhaimin Iskandar assessed\nthat the 2026 Hajj operations have been running smoothly as planned.\nKemenhaj has established the Armuzna Operational Task Force for the 2026\nHajj peak. Pilgrims are urged to adhere to schedules from 25 May to\navoid congestion in Arafah and Mina.<\/p>",
