Eid Tuesday as moon not sighted
Eid-ul-Fitr, the largest religious festival of Muslims, will be celebrated in the country on Tuesday as the Shawwal moon was not sighted in Bangladesh sky on Sunday.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the National Moon Sighting Committee on Sunday evening at Islamic Foundation meeting room at Baitul Mukarram mosque in Dhaka.
Following the meeting, state minister of religious affairs Md Faridul Haque said the news of moon sighting anywhere in the country has not been found.
He also said that is the reason why tomorrow will be the last day of holy Ramadan and Eid-ul-Fitr will be held on Tuesday.
However, people of several villages in Chandpur and Patuakhali districts celebrated Eid-ul-Fitr on Sunday in accordance with the celebration of Eid in Afghanistan, Niger and Mali.
