NEW DELHI, Feb 28: Ramzan will begin on Sunday in India as the crescent moon marking the start of the fasting month was not sighted anywhere in the country on Friday.
Shahi Imam of Chandni Chowk’s Fatehpuri Mosque Maulana Mufti Mukarram Ahmed said Delhi-NCR was cloudy since morning, due to which the moon was not visible here.
He said that many places, including Gujarat, Bihar, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana were contacted, but sighting of the moon was not confirmed from anywhere.
Ahmed said that usually the moon is seen in the Kutch area of Gujarat, but there was no news of sighting from there also.
He said therefore it was decided that the first fast will be on March 2, i.e. Sunday. (AGENCIES)
