Amman, May 31 (Petra) — The Public Security Directorate (PSD) has
mobilized its specialized units across border centers to provide
security, humanitarian, and logistics services to Jordanian and Arab
pilgrims returning from the Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.
Upon the arrival of the initial pilgrim convoys at the kingdom’s
borders, PSD personnel began administering support to streamline
travel procedures and facilitate entry, the directorate said on
Sunday.
The PSD’s Residency and Borders Department, in coordination with
other border authorities, has streamlined document processing to
shorten wait times and maintain a steady flow of traffic at entry
points.
The Highway Patrol Department is escorting transit convoys of foreign
Arab pilgrims across Jordan’s primary transport corridors, securing
their routes from initial entry points to their final exit borders.
Specialized rest stations have also been set up along major roads to
offer logistical support.
Concurrently, the King Hussein Bridge Security Department has
implemented targeted organizational plans to manage the return of
Palestinian pilgrims traveling back to the Palestinian territories,
aiming to reduce bottlenecks and speed up border clearance.
Civil Defense medical teams have also been deployed at key frontier
sites to provide immediate first aid and healthcare services, with a
focus on elderly and vulnerable travelers.
The PSD had previously expanded the operational capacity and staffing
levels at all land borders in anticipation of the seasonal influx of
pilgrims returning from the Islamic holy sites.
