| | | | `If Eid falls on Friday, ruler loses his throne' | | Will NC led Govt survive? | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Aug 5: If Eid falls on Friday, the ruler loses his throne. This is what Kashmiri women firmly believe in.

This year, there are chances of crescent appearing on Thursday August 8. Like other months of Islamic calendar, Ramadhan can have either 30 or 29 days depending upon the appearance of the crescent. If the crescent is spotted on August 8, Eid shall be celebrated on Friday. It will not be a good omen for National Conference led coalition rule, women believe.
