The holy Eid-ul-Azha, one of the biggest religious festivals of the Muslims, will be celebrated in the country on October 6 as the moon of the month of Jilhaj was not sighted in the Bangladesh sky on Thursday.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the National Moon Sighting Committee held at Islamic Foundation’s Baitul Mukarram conference room in the city on Thursday evening.
