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. Thanks you

    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.

        My name is vanjithkumar and i'm a tenant in mr. Jagadeesan's house in kundrathur. Last time eb reading was taken wrongly about 500units extra by eb department. 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.

          Continuous Powercut of minimum 8 hours in Vijayshanthi Lotus Pond apartment - THAIYUR for last 2 weeks.

          No proper response or resolution to avoid this kind of ridiculous powercut.

          Here 1500 families are suffering a lot.

          Please do necessary steps to solve this issue immediately.
          We are facing continuous power failure in midnight without any proper reasons. Midnight power failurevl whichs leads some suspicious activities. There is no any proper response from our local eb office
          Sir the Electric board on platform at SKM church, 10 west koovam River Road, chintadripet is opened, Very Danger for children & public, orally told complained for 2 days no one attended.Please do needful to avoid accident, thank you
          My eb reading was taken and the bill amount has come rs.6707.which is too high for a small family and we dont have many current consuming products at home. most of the days the house was vacant though. kindly check into the usage reading or pls ask someone to come and view the meter asap.

              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

                          Sir/mam,

                          I would like to bring to your attention that i have been overcharges as the current consumption reading has been wrongly noted.

                          The meter reading as of 03/04/2013 shows 2980 where as i have been billed as below.
                          Please advise on how to get this reversed as the payment date is nearing.

                          Service no : [protected]

                          Tariff : lm51 [static electronic meter with md recording facility]

                          Bill date : 28/04/2019, total units: 1060, total bill amount: 9107

                          But we have consumed only 100 units.

                          Please do the needful.

                          Thanking you

                            Hello sir/madam, i’m from thathanur pottakkollai village which belongs to udayarpalayam tk, ariyalur dt, tamilnadu, pin 621804.in my village every two three days current cut for long time and very often. 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.

                              Dear sir/mam,

                              I am saravanan from kolathur, poombugar nagar. Lineman from tneb kolathur charged 15, 000/- for 3 phase connection and gave challan for 7450/-. When i asked where is my balance amount. He told that balance amount is bribe share among a. E. And other staffs in tneb or else work won't get completed. Hence please take legal action on these kind of criminals. They are brave just because they are sure that nobody can do anything to them. Hence need your help on this

                              Thanks & regards,
                              K. Saravanan

                                My complaint is about electrician from electrical department. Nobody from the electrical department don't want to help me to fix our electric switch box which is sparkling, instead they keep on ignoring me. They keep on sleeping all the time inside that office whenever i go to call them, saying they will come later as they feel sleepy. If they are going to be like this, why don't you just terminate them. There are thousands of people jobless electrician better than them. They really work hard but get nothing, but this people, they keep on sleeping in the office and earn alot. Why? Are they were for public or private?? Please do something..!!!

                                Hi Sir/Mam,

                                We stay in Mugalivakkam V.V Koil Street Chennai-600125. There is an electric pole just in front of my home which is in completely corroded condition. These rusted and damaged electric poles carrying live wires may fall in the residential homes any time.

                                Request you to kindly look into the matter as soon as possible.
                                In Vinayagar second street, Sakthi Nagar, Near Ramanujam Nagar (Hopes to Singanallur - Kamarjar Road), Coimbatore, one recently installed LED Street light is not working.

                                Kindly rectify the same.
