Additionally, the Ruet-e-Hilal Research Council said that the holy month of Ramadan is likely to begin in Pakistan on April 3 this year, followed by Eid-ul-Fitr on May 3.
Meanwhile, the Ramadan crescent moon has been observed in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, signalling the start of the holy month on Saturday (April 2).
