Bimal Krishna, a bank official, was in an urgent meeting at the office, while his wife and children had been trying to reach him over the phone repeatedly. They were desperate as suddenly the electricity at the house went off.
Bimal had to wait for the meeting to finish. Post the meeting he not only paid the electricity bill but also activated the 'Auto Pay' option of the bKash app. Next time he does not have to worry as the electricity bill will be automatically paid.
