Makkah, May 30 -- Indonesia's Hajj Organizing Committee (PPIH) is finalizing arrangements for the return of pilgrims starting June 1, following the smooth completion of the peak Hajj rituals in Saudi Arabia.

Inspector General of the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah Dendi Suryadi said the repatriation process would proceed in an orderly manner based on the departure schedule of pilgrimage groups from Indonesia.
