Action against shop owners if employees not vaccinated: DMP chief

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Shafiqul Islam today said action will be taken against shop owners if their employees are not vaccinated.

"If you (shop employees) do not take vaccines, then owners will not be able to keep you in the job," he said.

The DMP chief was speaking at the unveiling ceremony of Bangladesh Shop Owners Association's song, "Tika Nin, Tika Nin", at Polwell Super Market to create awareness among people for vaccination.

Owners and employees of shops and different markets took part in the event.

"You have to save yourself, you have to save others. Your family will be at risk if you are not protected," he stressed.

The shop owners said they would close the shops whose owners and employees are not vaccinated properly.
