Committee members and the officials concerned will attend the huddle.
The final announcement regarding the moon will be made by the chairman himself, based on testimonies received from different parts of the country.

Creasent of Ramazan had been sighted in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on Sunday and there is a first fast today.
This hints that these countries will potentially start Ramazan a day earlier than Pakistan - which is usually the case.
