The moon was visible on Monday at half past six, marking the start of the holy month of Ramadan in Pakistan. Tuesday, March 12, is the first day of Ramadan. At the Auqaf administrator’s office in Peshawar on Monday, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee convened to witness the sighting of the Ramazan moon. Abdul Khabir Azad, head of the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, led the meeting, which began after Asr. The committee announced the sighting of the Ramazan moon. Astronomers predict that although if Ramazan’s moon rises on March 10, it won’t be visible then. Instead, it will be readily visible on March 11. The evening of March 11 will mark Pakistan’s first Taraweeh.
