For the extension of a gas stove connection at my residence, I was forced to pay a total of BDT 50,000 in bribes to officials at Titas Gas Transmission in Motijheel. Initially, an officer demanded BDT 30,000 and promised approval within one week. Later, another official claimed he had not received any money and suggested that additional payments were needed for senior officials. The first officer then demanded another BDT 20,000, which I paid. Despite these payments, I faced repeated delays, negligence, and excuses. After I complained directly to a supervisor, I was promised a quick resolution, but the process ultimately took about three months and required constant follow-up. experience
