  "account": "In a significant development, the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) has officially endorsed a minimum wage policy for outsourced employees, reported ARY News. The new wage structure, set to take effect from July 1, will see outsourced staff earning a minimum of Rs40,700, following a federal government wage increase of Rs3,700. PAA has directed its contractors to ensure the revised salary is paid to all concerned employees, including security personnel, who will now receive a monthly salary of Rs40,700. This new wage is mandatory for all existing and extended outsourcing agreements.\n\nMoreover, both the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the PAA are set to relocate their headquarters from Karachi to Islamabad. The main headquarters of the CAA and PAA will shift from Karachi Airport to Islamabad Airport. A temporary headquarters will be established at Islamabad Airport to facilitate the smooth transition process. A seven-member committee, consisting of officials from both PAA and CAA, has been formed to oversee the relocation. Deputy Director General of the Airports Authority, Sadiq Rehman, has been appointed as the head of this joint committee, which will finalize the location for the temporary headquarters.\n\nThe CAA is required to move to the temporary headquarters by November, while the PAA must complete its transfer by December. The relocation of the main headquarters is not a new development, as both organizations currently operate from Karachi. However, their regional offices will continue to function as usual throughout the country.",
