The Saudi government had arranged a private company to impart training to the trainers of intending pilgrims, he said while speaking in a PTV programme.
The trainers would also impart training like how to embark on a plane, how to use utility services in Haram Sharif etc to the intending pilgrims, the Secretary informed.
He said the NGOs and private tour operators would also be associated with the Haj training exercise.

As many as 150,000 people would be sent for Haj this year out of which about 97,000 persons would be sent by the government.
About 53,000 people would be sent through the private tour operators, he added.
Tour operators had been allowed to offer different packages of various duration like two, three week, he said adding that even 10 days package had been made available. He said the government was offering package from 39 to 44 days.
The Secretary informed, the ministry was monitoring the performance of all tour operators and the copies of all packages of them had been obtained.
Their bank guarantee and performance bond would be released after 15 days of Haj and when no complaint was received against them.
To a question he said, the balloting to select intending pilgrims would likely to be held on August 31.
