444 Indramayu Hajj Pilgrims Return Home; One Remains in Saudi Arabia for Treatment

A total of 444 Hajj pilgrims from Indramayu Regency have safely returned to Indonesia after completing their religious obligations in Saudi Arabia for the 1447 Hijri year.

The pilgrims arrived at the Indramayu Pendopo in West Java on Tuesday, June 2, 2026. However, one pilgrim from the first batch, Kusbiyanto, was unable to return with the group. He is currently receiving medical treatment in Saudi Arabia as his health condition does not permit air travel.

“

For Kloter 01, there were 445 pilgrims. But one of our pilgrims was left behind, Mr. Kusbiyanto, because he was not fit to fly. So we are waiting for him to be fit to fly. God willing, he will be healthy and return when the time comes.

Indramayu's Deputy Regent, Syaefudin, who was part of the same Hajj group, stated that the total number of pilgrims in Kloter 01 was 445, including pilgrims and Hajj officers. He expressed hope for Kusbiyanto's recovery and safe return once he is deemed fit to fly.

Syaefudin commended the overall services provided to the Hajj pilgrims this year, describing them as excellent. He specifically mentioned that the pilgrims received food that suited Indonesian tastes, despite facing extreme weather with temperatures reaching 47 degrees Celsius in Mina. He extended his gratitude to both central and regional governments for the high quality of service.

The implementation of the Hajj pilgrimage in 2026 was extraordinary. We thank the central and regional governments for the excellent services provided to the pilgrims.
