ISLAMABAD: There are likely to be six Eid-ul-Fitr holidays in Pakistan this year.
According to the reports, the Ruet-e-Hilal Research Council has predicted that Ramadan will last for 29 days and Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated on March 31.
Astronomers believe that the Shawwal moon will be sighted in most parts of Pakistan on the evening of March 30, as it will be 26 hours old – meeting the criteria for moon sighting.
If Ramadan lasts for 29 days, Eid will be celebrated from Monday to Wednesday (March 31 to April 2). If it lasts for 30 days, Eid will be celebrated from Tuesday to Thursday (April 1 to April 3).
As weekends (Saturday and Sunday) are already holidays for government employees, there could be a total of six Eid holidays.
