Notification to this effect was issued by Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), superintending archaeologist, Agra circle, Raj Kumar Patel.
The notification was issued in advance on Tuesday for Wednesday but due to non-sighting of the moon, Eid-ul-Fitr is now to be celebrated on Thursday.
On Wednesday, the Aligarh Muslim University vice-chancellor, Prof Mohammad Gulrez extended heartfelt greetings on the auspicious occasion of Eid-ul Fitr.
In his greetings, the vice-chancellor stated that while celebrating this festival, “we all hold steadfast to universal values of compassion, generosity which are inherent in our diverse cultural traditions.
