At Mina,The pilgrims throw stones at the Devil. Id Ul Adha is an important Islamic festival..Pilgrims have to go there(about 5 Kms from Mecca)& throw 3 stones at the stone walls.It appears more than 750 people were killed & 800 injured in the stampede. As it stands more than 14 Indians have have died.& the info is still trickling.The indesciplined crowds are largely to blame for themselves
Infrastructure has been greatly enhanced to accommodate greater number of International pilgrims.The Saudi's lack crowd management skills.Sometimes back,a crane crashed & more than 100 people died at the grand mosque & it was called an act of God,I am sure even this disaster will be called by the same name.Increasing Incomes,Low Airfare & Govt subsidy have made more people travel to Mecca,Haj Pilgrimage FIVE pillars of Islam
Saudi monarchy is the custodian of the Holy Mosque ,he has a special standing in the eyes outhy rebels were Bombed by the King(Salman) in Yemen. This has raised the anger in some sunni circles in the ruling party : Iran the leader of the world Shia muslims has condemned the Saudi arrangements regarding the crowd control. Iran lost a large number of people at Mina & has publicaly asked for its accountability from the Saudis
The Management & control of Haj Piligimage should be entrusted to a World body of Muslims
