He called changes and dynamism in the programs very important and referring to the Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution emphasis on this important issue, stated: the key to the success of any complex is dynamism in programs and changes, so the officials should take the initiative to develop and strengthen the Arbaeen cultural activities, pursue practical and effective programs.
Referring to the injection of corona vaccine to a number of compatriots across the country, Supreme Leader's representative in Hajj and Pilgrimage affairs reminded pilgrimage trips and the implementation of spiritual programs have a great impact on the morale of the people and society and cause the strengthening of religious beliefs and increase positive energy in individuals. Therefore, considering the vaccination of a number of compatriots, it is suggested that the National Anti-Corona Headquarters provide pilgrimage trips in the form of expedition caravans of the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization for the Ahl al-Bayt lovers, he added.
He emphasized now there are number of enthusiasts and pilgrims of Imam Hussain (PBUH) who go to pilgrimage trips with free caravans, which does not match the sanitation procedures and National Anti-Corona Headquarters decisions. Therefore, launching pilgrimage trips by observing hygienic procedures and in official and legal form by the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization can help implement the decisions of the National Anti-Corona Headquarters.
