Pallavaram Municipality — damage to underground electricity cable pipe and risk to the resident.

Address:

Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 600044

I am a resident of radha hagar at 15, bujanga rao street. On 21st november 2017, a drainage work was carried out by an independent contractor for our neighbour opposite. The worker while digging broke our electricity cable pipe even after caution by me about underlying pipes. There was short circuit and smoke leading to our meter box. Some of my house appliances gone dead immediately.
The eb has just taped the cable with insulation tapes and the contractors closed the pit without securing a pipe around those exposed cables even after promising to cover it with a pipe.

Now, the newly laid drainage pipe is also leaking and the road where its laid is wet. This is a health hazard and also the exposed cable can again create a spark and will be dangerous to my house creating electricution.

As i am worried, i request the municipality to look at the laying of the drainage pipe again and we would like the pipe around the cable. Many thanks.
