Harassment in name of raids at hotels, restaurants unacceptable: FBCCI president

FBCCI president Md Jashim Uddin has said that raids on hotels, restaurants and guest houses during the Covid situation are unacceptable, calling it out as a harrassment, reports UNB.

“The owners of hotels, motels and restaurants are trying very hard to turn the wheel of their fortune despite being hit very hard by the pandemic. But harassment in the name of raids at these institutions are only increasing their miseries,” he said.

“These raids are absolutely unacceptable during the covid situation,” he said.

He came up with these remarks while speaking as the chief guest at an eventful opening ceremony of The Rio Lounge, an upscale buffet restaurant on the eighth floor of Pink City in Gulshan on Friday evening.

The FBCCI president also praised the incentive packages provided to the entrepreneurs by the government during the pandemic.

“Many entrepreneurs are coming forward to invest in new businesses during this challenging time because of the incentive packages provided by the Prime Minister,” he said.
