Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry said that he has sent the five-year Hijri Calendar to the Islamic Ideology Council.
The Calendar will be presented before the cabinet on Wednesday.
The Moonsighting.pk website replaces Ruet-t-Hilal Committee in the country which was highly controversial as in some parts of the country Eid was celebrated a day before.

This website will help to resolve the long standing issue.
