I was forced to pay 1,800 BDT after continuously running around our 7 No. Union office (Jaldi, Banskhali) for three days just to get a single birth certificate a few years ago, which normally costs only 10–20 BDT. I had to miss work for three days, along with hours of travel and waiting, just to get it done.
At the Upazila Accounts Office, a cash bribe of 5% to 20% must be paid in advance for processing each bill, including salary bills, travel allowances, and transfer-related LPC (Last Pay Certificate) bills. If the bribe is not paid, the bills are deliberately withheld and are not released. This practice continues despite all services being available online. The concerned officials intentionally delay and obstruct the processing of bills. Senior officials and the relevant authorities are aware of these irregularities, yet no effective action has been taken to stop them.

Theft of main electric lines is a recurring problem, along with flickering lights from hardware faults such as clamps that need replacing.

A simple fix with a plier on the main grid wire cost 3,000 BDT. Charges vary depending on who turns up, up to 10,000. They only take cash, not bKash.

They are called in a area where no people were around. the S.I asked 100000bdt to free us, as his parents were not that eligible to give the money the police demanded, his mom came with 20000bdt and his father had only 300bdt for transport, they took all of it and let us go.

In Pahartali, Chattogram, EPI vaccines for children are provided at the Chairman’s Office. The EPI card clearly states that both the vaccines and vaccination card are completely free. However, they are charging 100 taka just to make the card, sometimes even more based on the family’s financial status. They also demand an additional 20, 50, or 100 taka during each vaccination visit. When I protested, they said, “We don’t charge this in villages, but here you have to pay.” I refused to pay and left. This is a serious issue that should be investigated. If EPI services are officially free, people should not be forced to pay unofficial fees. I also have video evidence of the incident.
