Address: Vaibhav Nagar 3rd Road, Vaibhav Nagar Extension, Opp to CSI St. Stephen Church, Katpadi, Brahmapuram, 632014

Sir/madam,
Warm greetings. We the resident of vaibhav 3rd road, vaibhav nagar extn, opp to st csi stephen church, (Opp vit 3rd gate) would like to draw your kind attention towards the poor upkeep of lights in our area.
During nights there is a presence of theft, chain/phone snatching as taken place is absence of street light and presence of darkness in our area. Also, there is no street light in the state highway 59 road. It is darkness in our area. It has brought about a spurt in the frequency of wrongdoing in the region. Especially women are in danger in leaving their homes at night. Grabbing, thievery and robbery have turned into the order of the day. The criminals in the wake of perpetrating law violations exploit the obscurity and securely flee.

I, accordingly, request you to kindly take necessary move to mend the ways so that people of the region have good street lights.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Raj kumar

          Hi
          There are no street lights on the way from perriyanayakenpalayam, coimbatore (Dist) to keeranatham, some street lights are not functioning. Its difficult for all to use that way during night time and since there is it park in keeranatham most of the people use that road. Kindly take required action on this as soon as possible please.

            Why does kottakuppam (Just outside pondicherry) suffer from powercuts everytime it rains or even drizzles? Even the slightest breeze results in atleast an hour of powercut? What kind of maintenance is being done? Nobody picks up the phone at the electricity office to receive complaint. I have a good mind to stop paying my electricity bills from next month if this continues.

              Sir, i am a resident of padur, chennai tamil nadu. I feel very sorry to inform you that the padur electricity office associates are not aware of the frequent power cut during the nights mostly sustained till morning. Since it is a centre for education many college students like us are not able to achieve proper sleep and attend college. Also the power cuts occur without any reason or prior notice and the maintainance person is not responsive. Kindly look into the matter and get this solved as soon as possible.

It was 1250 but noted as 1750 units. We have raised a complaint on 30th september 19 in tneb site (Complaint id:[protected]) but still no actions taken against that. Actual bill should be ₹350 but the bill generated for ₹3365. Please make them to revise the bill amount.

                      I got an email for paying consumption charge of rs. 125 for sept 2019. When i went to pay online i was shocked to find a line item of demand if rs. 68, 222 for 'average shortfall". I have been using the service for more than a decade and we have been paying bills very promptly and regularly and had never experienced such huge and inflated demand.

                      Owing to natural calamity and no rain fall in the whole area for a very extended period we were not able to draw water by using the service and we have not been able to plant anything and we have been incurring huge losses. Sudden shock of tneb without any advance warning or notice we senior citizens are put to huge shock and mental tension with such an inflated demand. I hope rhis is a mistake from the department and i have written to ae concerned on oct 4, 2019.

                          I have been charged 12 rupees per unit for my room alone in a hostel in kilpauk in chennai. There are plenty of rooms in my hostel and i believe it is excess charged. I have used 104 units this month and had to pay rs.1248 for this month alone. The charges showed in online search engines have no consonance whatsoever to what they are charging me. Most of the people staying in this hostel are students or working people who have been exploited by this very excessive charges of the hostel. I hope proper methods can be adopted to curb the excessive rates charged by the hostel.

                              For two months i got billed wrongly for faulty meter. For 0 reading difference i was charged for 2126 and then a new meter got replaced. I usually get 400 to 600 units maximum usage. Now for current billing this time with a surprising comsumption of 940 units, which billed around rs4600. Most of the days we are not even in home.
                              Kindly resolve the issue

We are facing very difficult situation or i can say our every day life is very difficult without electricity because many children's, students can’t study and labors, workers can’t do their job and even a simple people can't have a normal life due to this stupid workers mistakes or i don’t know why they making so many current cuts. When we ask the eb workers who responsible to our village not giving proper response and ignoring. Their attitudes are so bad. Even to do their work we have to give money which is totally corruption and cheating. Is it because it’s village? So we are living in a village we can’t get our rights? Or we don’t have a power to ask? It’s very shameful situation. Please sir/ mam i request you so much to take action for this unfair situations.
