In Malegaon the moon sighting was general and reported by the masses.
Mufti Mohd Ishaque confirmed the sighting of the moon in Kamptee.
Mumbai could not report the moon sighting due to heavy showers. But the metropolis has a precedent wherein it relies on the reports of moon sighting from the neighboring areas to start the Holy month of fasting.
The countries in Gulf including Saudi Arabia have already started Ramadan from August 11.
Meanwhile, announcements are on in different parts to inform people to get ready for the first special prayer of the night, Traweeh. Traweeh would be offered for the entire month during the Ramadan nights.
