The Maintaining Order Department enhances the system for inspecting bags and luggage with assistance devices in preparation for the Arbaeen pilgrimage

The Maintaining Order Department of the Al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine announced the enhancement of the bag and luggage inspection system with additional devices in preparation for the Arbaeen pilgrimage.

The assistant head of the department, Mr. Aqeel Al-Salami, said: "The department has ten RapiScan devices for inspecting bags and luggage, distributed at the entrances of the Old City Center and its branches," explaining that "this system is supported during the major Ziyarats with additional small-sized devices, placed alongside the main devices to reduce congestion and ensure smooth operation."

He added that the work of these devices is not limited to the seasons of Ziyarats, but they are also used on regular days to inspect visitors' luggage and bags, accompanied by manual searches.

The Al-Abbas's (p) holy shrine is making continuous preparations at all levels, as part of a comprehensive plan in readiness for the Arbaeen Ziyarat of Imam al-Hussayn (peace be upon him).
