Saudi Arabia Uses Drones to Enhance Hajj Security

Saudi Arabia deploys surveillance drones for enhanced Hajj security. This year's Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia will see the implementation of a new security measure: surveillance drones. Footage released by the Ministry of Interior shows these drones monitoring the movement of pilgrims and traffic flow around Makkah. "This technology is a vital part of our commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all those participating in Hajj," said a spokesperson for the Ministry. The drones provide real-time monitoring, allowing authorities to quickly respond to any potential incidents. The kingdom has also announced penalties for those who violate regulations set for the pilgrimage. The use of drones is expected to improve efficiency and enhance the overall experience for millions of pilgrims who travel to Makkah annually.
