According to the ministry, infrastructure facilities in the holy sites cover more than 4.6 million square meters, including roads, lighting networks, bridges, tunnels, and flood channels. A total of 20 bridges and 18 tunnels contribute to supporting traffic flow and facilitating pilgrims’ movement between different locations.
