Tamil Nadu Electricity Board [TNEB] — Low voltage at night time-deficiency in service

Sir, i am living in avvaiyar street, nilamangai nagar, adambakkam, chennai-88 for the past several years. For the past several years, it has become a routine during summer, that the voltage of power supply at night especially after 9 p. M. Is very low. The voltage supplied is not even enough for ordinary fans to run in full speed. Power cuts are there every night for several times during night, during summer, everybody knows that the heat in chennai is scorching and it is very sultry at night. Due to the poor voltage, we are not able to run air conditioners and therefore nobody is able to sleep at night. Employees, children, aged people and those with ill health suffer due to sleepless nights daily and suffer from intolerable mental agony and are prone to health problems. This is happening every year. As the number of flats in this locality are increasing day by day, the transformer has to be replaced in order to supply electricity of normal voltage between 220-240 volts. Even after complaining several times the authorities are not bothered to install new transformer to cater to the needs of the residents in this area. This is clearly a deficiency of service. I want immediate action taken against those who are not bothered to correct this problem. I on behalf of all the residents in this area want the power supply to be given with optimum voltage daily without fail and the low voltage to be corrected immediately.
