Chitral Update Report
Asalam Alaikum, and very happy Eid to all of you.
The wishy-washy attitude of the Ruet Hilal Committee in announcing the sighting or otherwise of the Shawal moon not only puzzled the people in urban areas but also put those in rural areas in a quandary on Tuesday night.
The committee at its meeting in Karachi remained without any decision till about
10.45pm when it announced that the Shawal moon had been sighted and Eidul Fitr would be observed on Wednesday.
The decision came after the senior NWFP minister Bashir Bilour had gone to the provincial Ruet body meeting in Peshawar to announce that Eid would be celebrated
in the province on Wednesday.
People criticised the central Ruet Hilal Committee for its inability to decide the sighting of the moon on time. By the time the announcement came, most of the people in remote areas of Chitral would have slept and they would come to know about the Eid on Wednesday morning.
