In a statement to the Media Center of the Holy Shrine, the head of the Engineering Unit Muhammad Ashur said “In order to protect the visitor and provide complete safety for the visitors, we decided to put these partitions near the holy grave of Imam Ali (PBUH). They are made according to global standards.”
“These new partition replaced the old ones. They are thick enough to endure heavy weights. They were tested by modern scientific methods. Throughout the test, the partitions were put under a pressure of two tons and they could bear it. The concrete bases are completed. The partitions are put up above these bases.
