Desco disorder


Recently, Desco staff came to my apartment and asked for the bills paid. At that time I was in my office. As I live in an apartment, my receptionist rang me and described the situation. I reached the scene immediately and saw that my electricity line was disconnected. I rushed to Desco office in Gulshan-1 and showed that I had already paid all my bills, and asked them why they disconnected my line. They replied that their list was not updated, and asked for a reconnection fee of Tk 1,800 from me!

Now whose fault is it? Is it the fault of the residents of Dhaka who pay bills regularly or is it the fault of Desco?

Now my question is, what kind of country are we living in?
