KARACHI: The slow pace of Covid-19 vaccination, unwillingness of large number of people and growing pressure of authorities has pushed several private businesses and industries to take the same line adopted by the Sindh government. They have threatened to stop salaries of the employees who refuse to get themselves inoculated, while many have made it clear to their staff that they would lose their jobs if they fail to produce evidence of their jabs within a specified period, officials and sources said.
