Now the official of the ministry has revealed that no such decision was made by the government and the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee is working same as it was earlier.

The spokesperson said,

“The government had not decided to disband the committee; it` rather instructed it to collaborate closely with Pakistan Meteorological Department.”

He added,

“Abolishing the committee will need legislation through Parliament.”

The Ruet-e-Hilal Committee is responsible of the moon sighting across Pakistan from the past many years under the leadership of Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman. It was first created in 1974 under a resolution passed by the Zulfikar Ali Bhutto-led government in the National Assembly.
