Address: 9/4 Jawahar hussain 2nd street, Royapettah, 600014

Sir
I am residing at jawahar hussain 2nd street, royapettah, chennai - 600014.

Sparks are coming out of the eb box outside at my gate where children usually play and already many deaths have occurred in the main road because of their lethargy. And irresponsibility.
I have placed many complaints and they are not paying any heed. The ae when called says he is busy and cannot do anything about it.
I request the concerned authority to take immediate action before i seek legal help with the proofs. I also request him to take appropriate action against the erring ae.

      In our area we get interrupted power supply only for a few homes while all our neighbours have power, do treat every people same coz we never fail in paying the electricity charges. Whenever the eb person is contacted he gives irresponsible reply like trees short circuiting the path.. How come the trees know the timing and to exactly short-circuit only one line. Such an irresponsible behavior from the people working in thiruppuvanam electricity board. For the last few days the supply goes exactly by 3am in the morning and we get only during 9am. How do we people can go to office, schools and colleges. If the thiruppuvanam electricity board is so much desperate in saving the power then treat everyone same. These guys don't shut the power for remaining people becoz ae is residing there. Experiencing so much ill treatment. Respect the people those who logde complaint and do reply. You people are working only for the public. Do remember!

          Hi sir,

          I belong to a village near kanyakumari which comes under leepuram panchayat and village name is mengnanapuram (629702). A person named manikandan son of ramalingam has done land acquisition near our village pond and having a temple with farming land. For which he has taken illegal power connection and build a temple for his own shake.

          I am writing this repeatedly because they don't even know to differentiate things. He doesn't behave well to the people as well.

          Kindly inform the concern eb department and take immediate action which would help them understanding do and don'ts of government regulations under tneb.

          Thanks,
          Village people

            I am a consumer, and i have the rights to question against you.
            I am anto gladwin from kodaikanal.
            You've announced power shutdown today (Friday).
            Usually power shutdown happened on tuesday only, however you've did that.
            No one is checking the lines and working in the transformers, not even a general check up did to electrical posts.
            After power came back, so many times it's went off and low voltage problem caused.
            Who will give you for the repaired electrical devices due ti your power flexible problems?
            Yesterday in annanagar, electric wire git shorted and fallen in roof of houses.
            There was kids, old aged peoples, ladies, animals were slept inside the house.
            But the hell was happening in the midnight.
            Because no one is checking the cables and transformers regularly during power shutdown times.
            After the problem only actions taken.
            If there is a loss of live, do you give us back?
            Collection of eb bills, asking diwali bonus, unplugging fuses for not paying bills only not your duty.
            Providing the safest electricity to all peoples is the main duty of you everyone.
            Do your duty first, we've respect on your dangerous job.
            But please have some basic responsible with public and do your duty honestly.

              Hi, i am an educated fellow who is going for daily wages and living in samyapuram, trichy. Recently i am trying to get a eb connection to my house in kalapalayam. I am so frustrated with the services provided by the tneb service office in samayapuram. The employees who are all giving services and connections, explicitly they are all asking for bribe in thousands. I hope that government is paying enough salary but why are they expecting people to give money to their pockets to make them work. If we are not giving the money, they are not responding to our application and make us to keep on walking for the offices. If anyone takes action, it will be good.

              The days during power shutdown, they will cut the power supply before 8 and they will not replace the power on 5 clock also . Mostly the will put power only @ 8:00 pm.
              And also daily very frequent power cuts.

                  I am a resident from north konam, nagercoil. I raised a complaint on a fuse cut in a nearby transformer that led to a power cut in an entire street (Varuvel street). We just brought our new born (5 days) baby into our home today and had medical emergencies. But the officials refused to take any actions in restoring the power. They falsely claimed/lied that the issue was with our pole, but the issue was actually with the transformer fuse (Picture attached). When we tried calling 1912, they ignored our call and never responded back. This was rude and shows how lethargic the night shift personnels are. What is the use of 1912 then?

                      My service no. [protected]

                      I'm a tenant staying at the above address since August 2019. Last month our EB meter was repair. So, they have changed the new one. Hence, they couldn't calculate the meter reading.

                      Now they have decided to put random unit of 850 amounting to Rs 4365/- They are saying it is the average of hightest two units in last one year. But I get into this house on August 2019 only.

                      So, how am I responsible for this much higher charge. I'm not using air- conditioner. I am a single person staying in that house.

                      Kindly help me in this issue
