To promote the mass vaccination drive in UP, District Magistrate has issued an oral order of "no vaccination, no salary".
"As per the order, if an employee does not take the Covid vaccine, the department will initiate action and stop their salary for the month of May," said Chief Development Officer, Charchit Gaur.
District treasury officer and other departmental heads have been given directions to implement the order and were asked to make a list and ensure vaccination, he said.
The CDO said that the employees are trying to get themselves vaccinated in fear that their salary might be stopped.
As per the government data on June 1, over 1.27 lakh fresh Covid-19 cases were recorded in India, which is the lowest in 54 days. In Uttar Pradesh, over 1.80 crore doses of vaccinations have been administered.
