PowerCut and Voltage Fluctuation Every day and night

We live in Venkateswara Nagar, 19th Street, Kottivakkam. We have severe power supply problem in this area. There is so much voltage fluctuation every night and hours of continuous powercut. It happens every day and especially when people want to retire to bed, the power goes off around Nine Pm and contnues till midnight. Also sever voltage fluctuations. Every day complaints are being lodged and the authorities are not taking any action. WE were told that there is going to be another transformer going to be installed in this area to take the load and distribute the load. But it has not happened. Every body including old people, newborn, school going children are all suffering with the inefficient operation of TNEB of this area.

Someone take positive action and solve this problem.

I am staying in Swaminathan Nagar, Kottivakkam. We were facing severe power supply problem in this area for the last 5 days . This LowVoltage problem with severe Power fluctuations happens arround 9 PM and continues till midnight . Everyday complaints are being registered, but no action taken by Authority till today. We are suffering a lot due to this. In summer season that to (in a hurrible place in our country )like chennai, its very difficult to manage this kind of problems.

We are from other states, staying here in chennai for last 1 yr ..In our view, the Electricians are not responding properly, they are very very poor in properly communicating with consumers, We have drawn a very very bad feedback to TNEB.. Need to improve

Please requesting Higher Authority, Do take action As Soon As Possible.

Dear Sir,

I had been living in Kalathumettu Street, Kottivakkam for the past couple of years. In agreement with the above post, I too had been facing terrible power fluctuations in the area between 8 p.m till late night during the past few weeks. Due to this all our electronic gadgets like TV, computer, refrigerator, etc. are getting affected drastically and disrupts our day-to-day activities.

Requesting you to kindly take the necessary action immediately and sort out the issue at the earliest.

Thanks

We live in Alavattamman Koil St, Rajakilpakkam, Sembakkam panchayat, Tambaram, Chennai – 73. We have severe power supply problem in this area. There is so much voltage fluctuation every night. It happens every day and especially when people want to retire to bed, there is severe voltage fluctuations. Every day complaints are being lodged and the authorities are not taking any action. Every time they say that a new sub-station is going to put up in the area. Further we were told that there is going to be another transformer going to be installed in this area to take the load and distribute the load. But it has not happened for the past 10 months. Every body including old people, newborn, school going children are all suffering with the inefficient operation of TNEB of this area. The power supply is abysmal.Voltage fluctuates so much that tube lights do not work, fans rotate at varying speeds, electronic equipment gets malfunction. Everyday complaints are being registered, but no action taken by the EB authority till today. We are suffering a lot due to this. This is summer season and it is (in a hurrible place in our country ) horrible without proper Electricity in cities like Chennai, its very difficult to manage this kind of problems. Further, the Electricians are not responding properly, they are very very poor in properly communicating with consumers.

Kottivakkam has got EB staffs who are good for nothing.They shut down power when there are showers and they forget to turn it on.They are good for sleeping at their night shift.

I agree completely! I've had a place in Sri Venkateshwara Nagar in Kottivakkam for the last 3 years. Not only are the roads terrible (I've had to change tires due to severe wear and tear just driving on rubble), they get flooded with the smallest of showers and the power situation is terrible. We have power cuts all the time and the voltage fluctuation has destroyed some of our home appliances.

I am residing kalathumathu 3rd street. I too agree the above said problem. We also face same problem everyday. It should be taken care by TNEB and expecting Govt. reaction towards these problems..

Ever since cyclone Thane, our SriVenkateshwara nagar has been experiencing voltage fluctuations. It has been particularly bad from last night. The Kottivakkam sub station is a large building with but it does not have a telephone connection. I guess the people working there are not interested in even receiving complaints, let alone attending to them.

We live in MMM2 Plot No 62 19th Street Venkateshwara Nagar, Kotivakkam.For the last ten days voltage has been a major issue throughout the day. We have not been able to sleep at night as the fans are also not working (forget the acs, they have become prehistoric animals who are unable to keep up with the enviormental pressure called voltage). Whenever we call up EB they say we get less supply. THIS IS SOS! CAN ANYBODY HELP!
