Saudi Arabia Blocks 2.7 Lakh Without Hajj Permits | Major Crackdown on Unauthorized Pilgrims

Saudi Arabia has stopped over 269,600 people without Hajj permits from entering Mecca ahead of this year's pilgrimage. Authorities say unauthorized pilgrims cause overcrowding and were a major factor in last year’s heat-related deaths. Over 23,000 residents have been penalized and 400 Hajj company licenses revoked. The government has introduced strict fines, deportations, and even deployed drones to monitor the pilgrimage. With 1.4 million official pilgrims already in Mecca, the Hajj is under tight surveillance to ensure safety and order.
