Despite producing 70 percent of the world’s footballs, Pakistani workers in the manufacturing industry in Sialkot merely earn only Rs. 160 per ball, Bloomberg has revealed. Note here that the official price for the FIFA World Cup football is $165 or around Rs, 36,000.
According to the report, stitching one ball takes three hours, so a worker can earn around Rs. 10,000 per month by stitching three balls per day, while a living wage in Sialkot is Rs. 20,000 per month.
The report further stated that approximately eight percent of the city’s population works in the soccer ball industry, where they frequently work long hours and sew the panels of the balls by hand.
It was also reported that 80% of soccer balls are handcrafted, and this time-consuming method increases the soccer ball’s durability and aerodynamic stability when compared to machine-stitched balls.
It is pertinent to mention here that approximately 40 million soccer balls are purchased worldwide each year, while sales mostly increase during the FIFA World Cup.

PM Imran Khan approves appointment of Gen Munir on recommendation of Gen Qamar.
ISLAMABAD:

In a major reshuffle that also includes some key appointments, the Pakistan Army on Wednesday named Lieutenant General Asim Munir as the new head of the country’s premier spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

Munir was among the six major generals who were recently promoted to the rank of lieutenant general. According to official sources, Prime Minister Imran Khan approved appointment of Gen Munir to the post of the ISI director general on the recommendation of army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa.

However, the formal announcement made by the military’s media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), suggested that the PM merely approved name of the new ISI director general as sent by the army chief.

Technically, it is prerogative of the prime minister to appoint the spy chief but this crucial appointment is always done with the consent of the army chief. The new DG ISI will formally take over on October 26 a day after the incumbent ISI chief Lt Gen Naveed Mukhtar retires.
