All of us are aware of sad incident taken place in Makkah past week which resulted in 111 persons losing their lives whereas over 331 being injured. A majority of them hailed from diverse nations for performing Hajj. That day wind pressure had been about 60 kmph. Makkah never had such a high pressure sandstorm in which a crane fell down in view of the fact that it couldn’t maintain the pressure but no one can be blamed for the natural disaster. Saudi govt. makes up mind for compensating victims and King Salman, the two holy mosques’ custodian, made it to the area for monitoring rescue task. What is more, he has ordered an independent inquiry as a result of which Bin-Laden Group has been found as partially blameworthy for crane crash.
Additionally, King Salman moved to hospitals too for attending patients as well as ordered medical help without any charge for all injured people. Not only this, he has asked for purchasing special vehicles for victims, as the automatic vehicles would make the Hajj performance easy. Besides, he has declared SR 1,000,000 compensation for every martyr and for those who suffered permanent disability. Apart from this, SR 500,000 compensation is declared for all injured people whether the injury is merely a scratch. Also there is a declaration of paying SR 305,500,000 to injured & deceased persons’ heirs.
