A poor woman from Nizampur Union in Habiganj Sadar upazila was shocked after receiving an electricity bill of about Tk 25.7 million for the current month. The unusually high bill, issued in her name, caused widespread astonishment in the area and quickly spread across social media. Her family, who usually paid between Tk 100 and Tk 150 per month, were left confused and anxious about the massive amount.

Local residents began discussing the matter after seeing the bill, and many shared photos of it online, questioning how such an error could occur for a poor household. The incident drew attention to the local Palli Bidyut office, which later clarified that the bill resulted from a technical mistake during data entry.

Habiganj District Palli Bidyut General Manager Md. Zillur Rahman confirmed that a numerical input error in the computer system caused the issue. The bill was immediately corrected, and the customer will only need to pay the actual amount due.
