The committee will be attended by religious scholars, meteorological experts, and other stakeholders to verify moon sighting reports from across the country.
The holy month of Ramazan began in Pakistan on March 2, as declared by the Ruet-i-Hilal Committee. The Shawwal moon is expected to be visible on March 29, and meetings of the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee will be held on March 29 and 30 to confirm the sighting. The Pakistan Meteorological Department predicts the moon will be visible for one hour, with temperatures in Karachi expected to reach 37°C, and intense heat due to high humidity.
The three-day holiday for Eidul Fitr will provide an opportunity for people to celebrate the occasion with their families and friends, and the government's announcement has been welcomed by the public. The exact date of Eidul Fitr will be confirmed after the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee's meeting on March 30.
