Sighting moon in KP

RAMAZAN moon sighting is only about six weeks away, followed by Eid moon sighting.

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Ramazan begins a day earlier and Eid too is celebrated a day earlier. Some senior ANP ministers of the last government lent support to this split.

Now that a new political party (PTI) has formed government in KP, it is expected that it would work on the issue, too, so as to have the start of Ramazan and Eidul Fitr on the same day throughout the country.

For that, the KP government would have to include it among its objectives for the first 100 days in office.
