Heavy penalties for 48 people violating Hajj transport regulations
Saudi authorities have fined and taken action against 48 people for violating Hajj transport rules. 19 were caught smuggling 29 unauthorized individuals into holy sites-facing up to $27,000 fines, vehicle confiscation, and public naming. Those without permits face up to $5,300 fines, with expats getting deported and banned for 10 years. It's part of a crackdown on forgeries and illegal ads to protect real pilgrims. If you see anything suspicious, report it via 911 or 999 in Saudi Arabia.
