The Saudi Director General of Civil Defense General Sulaiman bin Abdullah Al-Amro has announced that the third phase of the crisis plan for caring of worshippers at the two main mosques during the fasting month of Ramadhan went smoothly, the Saudi Press Agency has reported.

General Sulaiman said the civil defence forces are ready to resolve any emergencies during the last night of Quran recitation over the month, and throughout the Eid Al-Fitr holidays.

He reported minor cases inside the Makkah-based Grand Mosque and Madinah-based Prophet's Mosque, including fatigue experienced by some of the elders and the chronically ill among the pilgrims.
