Sir, I am living in Nilamangai Nagar, Adambakkam, Chennai. For the past few days, the residents are again being plagued by low voltage problem at night especially. The voltage is not even sufficient for the fans to operate at maximum speed. As the weather is similar to summer and sultry at night, air-conditioners have to be switched on at night. But they don't work due to low voltage. This is the third time, I am making a complaint but in vain. This low voltage and voltage fluctuation problem has been there for years in our area and it used to be in summer but now in September also the same problem persists this year. Office goers, students, children and elderly are suffering due to sleepless sultry nights due to this problem. On the wake of constructions of so many flats in place of individual housesm why don't the authorities replace the transformer with a new one so that this problem can be solved. As a consumer paying money for electicity consumed, we need justice. I hope the authorities involved will rectify this problem immediately.

Updated by VISHNUYACHAS Sir/Madam, I am a dental patient and visit the Govt.Dental Hospital near Broadway bus stand frequently for treatment. I have visited even before 4 years. Before 4 years when one Dr.Nasseer was the Dean, all the main gates used to be kept open till the outpatient time. Now after the new Dean has taken charge, the main gate near the Broadway bus stand side is closed before 8.30 am and the main gate near TNPSC building is always closed. The middle gate is only half open and it is the only gate through which both vehicles as well as pedestrian(patients) have to go in and come out. Because only one of the door in the middle gate is kept open, the vehicles two wheelers as well as cars and other vehicles entering and exiting through this gate pose great risk to the patients, due to lack of enough space for movement. The security persons in charge simply stand or sit on a moulded chair without controlling the vehicular traffic. They say that the gate on Broadway side has to be closed as soon as the Dean enters the Hospital. That is the instruction given to them it seems. Actually, it is through this gate the ambulance and other vehicles have to enter and go through the ramp to the OP ticket issue counter and they have to exit through the gate near the TNPSC building side. This is the reason why those two gates are there. Now since only the middle gate is kept open, even the ambulance and other vehicles carrying patients have to go in a round about manner. Pedestrians alighting from bus near broadway bus stand and train in Fort station face difficulty as the gate on Broadway bus stand side is closed. This also facilitates private vehicles to be parked outside the gate and even slum dwellers have started occupying this space. The pavement outside the Hospital is occupied by fruit juice and other vendors causing inconvenience to the public and pedestrians. This is the third complaint I am making, but still there is no action. If action is not taken, I will have to represent this to higher authorities in the Government. While the pavement outside the TNPSC building is maintianed free of hawkers why not this Hospital?. Gates are meant for the public to enter and exit and as thousand patients attend the hospital everyday the gates have to be kept open at least during OP hours.Will the authorities take immediate action?.
