Astronomers have confirmed that on Wednesday, March 18, which is the 29th day of Ramadan and the customary night for sighting the new moon, the crescent will not be discernible. This is because the moon is projected to set in the western horizon before the sun goes down. Consequently, the country will continue with its Ramadan observance on that evening, making Thursday, March 19, the concluding day of the holy month.
