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.

Still goverment borrowing and borrowing and borrowing and running these sorts o[censored]seless organisations... Very poor...

                    I received by email tneb bill dated[protected] lfor the month of september 2019 for inr 125 on october 1, 2019.

                    When i went to pay the bill, i, a senior citizen and having no other income, was shocked, dismayed and totally taken aback when i saw a total demand against this bill, for a sum of inr 70, 095. This includes a demand of rs. 68, 222 with a description “average shortfall” without any precedence or warning or notification in all these ten years or more of service.

                    This part of tamil nadu we have all been hit by drought and serious shortage of water since a long period owing to natural force majeur calamity of failed rainfall

                    For a very extended period, our bore well has dried up and the motor was not operable at all and there has been no consumption of electricity for farm activities. We are all eagerly waiting for rains, so that ground water would get recharged and we will be able to cultivate our farm and use the motor and earn our livelihood.

                    As it is we are under great loss and tneb is adding fuel to fire and our woes. Can the government withdraw all such unfair claims so that government can help us from mental tension and sleepless nights.

                          Without meter reader taking meter reading despite i was in my home, he has uploaded my last bill amount for rs 10096, for 1760 units.. This time the units consumed is very less. The meter reader's device was faulty so the meter reader did not come to my house or take any reading. This is really great injustice to the consumer charging them unnecessarily with huge payment. I want the reading to be taken and correctly billed.

                              Tirunelveli (Samadhanapuram) eb has the most irresponsible employees who didn't even care about the people. The entire night we people suffered a lot without electricity (Very low voltage). We tried to contact eb service but they didn't pick the call. Though they answer us they promised that they will come in 5 minutes and check out the fault, they didn't do it. Even children and elderly people suffered due to these irresponsible government servants. Government should take action towards these fellows
