well done bro Ashiq kukkaje we all supprt to u insha allah

Dear Monika and Zubair,
Why do you ignore this case.

Whatever be the reason, still they are liable as per their own terms and conditions of ticket.
Taking easy will cause them to be more ignorant in the future.

Everyone will have their own implication and consequential losses.

It is not a silly matter. It is a serious matter. These days we have sms, whatsapp, email or mobile, they can use any means to inform passengers . It is clear negligence of the Airlines. They should learn the lesson, if not we have to teach them a lesson.
If a passenger is late for just 10 minutes, they will straight away refuse to issue boarding pass.
Well done brother.

Good Job Ashik.
Someone has to rise their voice.....

Dear CD, Do not publish such silly news..., retain your popularity..

dont he have any other work to do?

The decision was taken as there was no news of new moon sighting in the coastal region today.

Ullal Qadhi Qurrathussadath Seyyid Fazal Koyamma Thangal Al Bukhari also announced that 24th May is first of Shawwal and Eid al Fithr will be celebrated on that day.

Comments

Moon sighting for the start of the month of Ramazan, for end of fastings- Eidul Fitr, for the month of Hajj and Muharram:

The moon sighting is so easy. We the people of India and have Indian Standard Time all.over India.

When we can accept the moon sighting in Delhi and announcement from Delhi as it was during times of Radio and Doordarshan news, why can we not accept the sighting of moon in coastal region of Karnataka and in Kerala?

Let us bring about change for good.

Why is rest of Karnataka or India not joining for Eid with coastal region and kerala? At the time of Radio and Dorrdarshan only days, all of India used to wait for 8.00 pm news for updates of moon sighting. So why not accept the moon signing witnesses in Kerala or coastal region?

I request all Indians to accept the witnessing of Moon sighting in any area of India and start and end Fasting.
