RIYADH: The authorities in Saudi Arabia have launched a multilingual call center for the ease of pilgrims who would keep coming to the kingdom for religious purposes.
The call center named 1966 also includes the Urdu language and would be a major support for pilgrims from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and even India. Besides, Arabic and English are also included in the call center so that the pilgrims can have a unique experience in the country during their stay.
The announcement in this regard was made by the Minister of Hajj and Umrah Tawfiq Al Rabiah during the Umrah and Ziyarah forum and it is believed that the call center ‘1966’ is going to play an important role in improving the logistics and communication experience of Muslims.
The call center ensures that the pilgrims easily access the information, report issues, and get guidance more effectively during the trip to the holy land.
It is to be mentioned that the Saudi Arabian government will welcome around 2 million pilgrims from across the world in June this year and arrangements have been finalized to a large extent. Pakistan has secured approximately 179,000 seats for the upcoming Hajj, and private Hajj operators will fill almost half of these.
