Officials on Saturday reported that Masnauli Hasibuan, who left for Mecca from Medan, North Sumatra, and Siti Rasmi Darmini, from Karawang, West Java, died in the incident.

Saudi authorities said on Saturday that Haj pilgrimage will go ahead despite a crane collapse that killed 107 people at holy city of Makkah’s Grand Mosque, where crowds returned to pray a day after the tragedy.

A statement by the Saudi government on Tuesday said the company’s operations had been stopped until a review of all their work had been completed.

“We will investigate all the reasons and afterwards declare the results to the citizens”, he said after visiting the site.

Saudi authorities are investigating the accident but have pledged that the annual Hajj pilgrimage will go ahead as planned.
