Provincial Minister for Religious Affairs Nimroz Khan while talking to Geo News correspondent Amjad Aziz Malik made it confirmed that Eid will be celebrated according to the decision of provincial Ruet-e-Hilal committee instead of central Ruet-e-Hilal committee and decision of moon sighting or otherwise will be taken in a joint meeting with non official Ruet-e-Hilal committee of Masjid Qasim.
