Pakistan Baseball’s Participation in Asian Games in Doubt Due to Sports Board’s Financial Situation

The participation of the Pakistan baseball team in the upcoming Asian Games hangs in the balance as concerns mount over the side’s ability to cover the hefty expenses.

According to media reports, the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) recently announced that it will only bear the costs of three games, hockey, volleyball, and kabaddi.

It has been reported that the sports board has left the federation of other team games, including baseball, responsible for their own financial arrangements.

The Pakistan Baseball Federation is facing a challenging predicament due to the high expenses, which makes it difficult for the team to establish its international presence.

After securing the fifth position and advancing to the second round of the Asian Games, the baseball team now faces uncertain participation due to this unfortunate turn of events.

Sources close to the matter have revealed that the Baseball Federation has been tasked with managing the arduous process of procuring tickets for the 30-member squad.

The federation is expected to shoulder the burden of providing a daily allowance of $50 per player, further exacerbating the financial strain on the already beleaguered team.

In an attempt to prioritize medal prospects, the Pakistan Olympic Association (POA) has decided to sponsor the teams that have higher chances of bringing home glory.

Punjab Bans Non-Registered NGOs From Collecting Animal Skins

The Punjab government has banned non-registered non-government organizations (NGOs) from collecting animal hides during Eid-ul-Adha. The provincial home department has instructed all deputy commissioners (DCs) and police to only allow registered NGOs to collect them.

City administrations have been directed by the Punjab government to prevent unauthorized individuals from collecting hides without permission and a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the relevant authorities.

To ensure compliance, charity organizations wishing to collect sacrificial animal hides have been instructed to submit their applications to DC Rawalpindi in order to obtain a permission letter. It is important to note that the deadline for submitting these applications is 20 June.

In related news, the prices of sacrificial animals have witnessed a significant increase as Eid draws near. This surge in cost will undoubtedly place an additional burden on those who wish to participate in collective Qurbani.

Traders have been apprehensive, cautiously awaiting the turnout of buyers. However, many observers remain optimistic that a large number of buyers will flock to the city markets, preventing prices from plummeting despite the occurrence of rain towards the end.

With hyperinflation eroding the purchasing power in Pakistan, it is expected that the market has shrunk to some extent. This has led to a change in the composition of the market, with more individuals opting for collective Qurbani options provided by a growing number of religious, civil, and philanthropic organizations.

Waqar Zaka’s Livestream Show, “Godzilla Bitcoin Trading,” Captivates Crypto Enthusiasts

Famous Pakistani cryptocurrency entrepreneur, influencer, and leverage trader, Waqar Zaka, has recently launched an exciting new YouTube livestream show called “Godzilla Bitcoin Trading.”

Drawing in thousands of viewers, Zaka takes on the daring challenge of high leverage trading, aiming to make profits within just 10 minutes. The two-hour-long livestream has not only garnered attention for its entertainment value but also for its engaging nature, with over 2000 viewers actively participating in the show. Feedback on Zaka’s Twitter account highlights his credibility as he showcases live profits rather than relying on mere profit screenshots.

Zaka is renowned for his direct predictions, emphasizing the importance of providing accurate forecasts and avoiding manipulative tactics often employed by other YouTubers. He claims that many YouTubers lose credibility by giving multiple predictions and selectively choosing the one that works out in hindsight.

For the Hindi/Urdu speaking crowd, Zaka has become a one-stop shop for crypto trades and updates. With an impressive following of 4.9 million crypto enthusiasts on Facebook, 1.3 million on YouTube, 500K on Instagram, and 800K on Twitter, Zaka has been promoting cryptocurrencies since 2016.

Zaka’s influence extends beyond his online presence. He fought a legal battle in Pakistan as a lawyer against the government, successfully clarifying that the central bank cannot ban cryptocurrencies. Considered a lone warrior in Pakistan, he actively uses cryptocurrency to assist refugees, educating them on receiving charity in crypto through his visits to refugee campaigns.

In 2016, Zaka introduced the concept of hydro-power bitcoin mining in Pakistan, in an attempt to convince the government to earn revenue by allowing foreign investors to utilize hydropower exclusively for crypto mining.

Recognized as a crypto expert by the provincial government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Zaka was appointed as the only crypto expert in an official committee working on the regulation of the crypto industry in Pakistan by the Sindh High Court. The court directed the Central Bank Deputy Governor and Security Exchange director to collaborate with him and find a solution instead of imposing a ban. These significant contributions have garnered Zaka extensive popularity among Pakistani audiences worldwide.

With his “Godzilla Bitcoin Trading” show and influential presence, Waqar Zaka continues to captivate the crypto community, providing valuable insights and entertainment while promoting the adoption and regulation of cryptocurrencies in Pakistan.
