KP Chief Minister Mahmood Khan has decided for all the people in the province to observe Eid on the same day accordingly, the provincial
government decided to announce Eid on Tuesday, said Yousafzai
He said the KP province has always celebrated two Eids that is why we decided to announce a single Eid across the province
Mufti Shahabuddin Popalzai had late Monday announced that the moon of Shawwal has been sighted in Peshawar, Mardan and Swabi, and
Eid-ul-Fitr shall be celebrated on Tuesday, June 4, 2019.The committee getd moon-sighting witnesses from over 100 places in the province,
However, the federal government had earlier announced that Eid shall be celebrated on Wednesday, June 5, 2019 as the Met office predicted
that the moon shall be sighted in the country on Tuesday, June 4
On May 31, Federal Science and Technology Minister Fawad Chaudhry had said that Eid-ul-Fitr would be celebrated on June 5 even if the
moon-sighting committees don''t agree
&Eid-ul-Fitr should be celebrated across the country on the same day,& said Chaudhry while addressing a press conference Monday
The scientific methods are being used to sight the Shawal moon just to unite the nation, much to let down anyone, he
