An official notification said that the Chairman of the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, Maulana Abdul Khabeer Azad, will chair the meeting.
Zonal Ruet-e-Hilal Committees will also meet separately on Thursday (tomorrow) at their respective headquarters for the moon sighting.

The Youm-e-Ashur (10th of Muharram) is likely to fall on July 06 in the country.
In a statement the Suparco said that the crescent of Muharram ul Haram 1447 Hijri is expected to be born on June 25 at 3:32 PM, its age will be around 28:15 hours at the sunset on June 26.
“An expected duration between the sunset and the moonset at coastal areas will be 75 minutes,” a spokesman of the Suparco said.
“This duration will provide a sufficient window for sighting of the Muharram ul Haram moon,” according to the statement.
