        Power cuts in the recent month. Because of all this, very tragic effects can be noticed on the health, mental stability and study habits in our children. every family member in the family is facing problem. Aged are unable to get the rest and relaxation they require. It is difficult to bath without geyser in such a cold water. Kitchen work and other chores of our mothers are getting disrupted as well. The conditions are undescribable. i thank you in anticipation and expect the condition to improve soon in near future. so i would like you to write an article in one of your esteemed columns regarding this topic. Through the columns of your esteemed daily, i want to draw the attention of the respective authorities to the frequent breakdown of electricity in my street.

        Thank you
        Yours faithfully

                Dear sir,
                I am anbu i have a shop in 5/40pothur main road, v. P. R. Nagar redhills. Chennai-52. My eb card number is[protected]. I have started the shop 07/07/19 before that i have noted my eb reading it is in 987.6 date of 26/06/19 when i got the key. Few days before i got the eb card they have mention 360 units. That time reading is 1050 date of 20/07/19. Yesterday i have turn to your eb office pay my eb bill payment suddenly they said 3190/- my payment. I said last month only i came why should i pay this amount. Also i spoke to ae mr srinivasan he told me we will send the person to your officehe will solve my problem. After 30 minutes your line man parthiban came and he said we can collect payment as per consumer request minimum charge of 50 units for similer months. For the past few months he wil collect 50 units amount. Because he will very close with earlier shop tenant because he is not able to view meter box. Is there any rules without see the meter we can charge minimum units. If the rules is there i can also use this opportunity. Suddenly he force to increase this amount to me. And also he distroy my card what they writtened. I am asking why you are distroy my card. He said you are not suppose to ask me if you want you can do anything i dont bather also i will manage everything.. And also speak very local tamil language very harsh and speak singular words. This the way government servant speak to the consumer or public.. Are you engrage this kind of employee. He have a rights to distroy the consumer bill. Is there any concession for eb employee and his relatives adjust the reading meter. For the past several months they are collecting only 50 units when his friend running this office. Suddenly 50 units jump in 360 units. This is a very sirios message you have to punish this kind of employee in front of who gave a complaint. Otherwise they will always continue to speak public as an land lord. He is a a public servant. He is not a collecter of redhills areas. Solve ths problem as soon as possible so kindly take severe action otherwise they will spoil other genuine emplyees names and total department.

                      From our rent out house in nolambur chennai-37, tenant left in jun-18.

                      Now locked, no one living. I'm getting huge eb bill for more than a year & thought it was a meter problem and complained to nolambur ss, and they confirmed the meter is ok.

                      So it seems that some one responsible for recording the meter reading in tneb forged reading, for many years

                      Many times complained in person and online. Even they come and checked locked house. But there is no action from their side. For all our online complaint we get only reply meter will inspect and report. They don't need to check the meter again and again, they have esquire inside tneb

                        Address: Saras Villas, Padur, 603103

                        We live in saras villas, padur (Near kelambakkam). The voltage has been very low and we are not able to use any appliances. Even the tv is getting switched off due to low voltage. The heat has been so intense and most of the nights we are not able to sleep. I asked the eb people and they say a new transformer has to be installed but when i ask when will it be done they have no answer. Please help in this regard. There are many families with children living in this community.

                            In my area, electric wire is falling down due to tree by wind, now problem solved by eb office, but again it maybe fall down due to that tree climb by wind. My kind request, to cut the half of the tree to prevent falling down of electric wire, and because publics are crossing this area. Safety is always first. Please take immediate action, our area eb peoples are not taking tha action.

                              We are residing in the following address in Chennai.

                              The TNEB Consumer Number to this flat is[protected].
                              We have come to UK on 14/04/2019 and will be staying until 24/09/2019. There is no body in the house and therefore no use age of current consumption. The CC charges up to May 2019 was paid.
                              The meter reading on 06 May was 10180. Now the meter reading is10213.
                              But the reading was noted incorrectly as 11200 instead of 10200.
                              Therefore, the consumed unit is noted as 1020 and the total bill amount is calculated as Rs 5212/-.
                              . So, I request you to do the needful to waive the current charges as it is below 100 units. Please upload necessary corrections in the website.

                              Thanking you.

                                  I am a resident of avvai nagar, selaiyur, tambaram east. For months together, we have very bad power fluctuation and voltage drops here. When my electrician checked in the afternoon he said it was 160 volts only. Our ac is not working at that voltage. Hence he advised to put a double boost stabilizer, which he said will work even upto 140 volts (Costs around rs.4000). I did that. Even after that during nights, the double boost doesn't work after 8.30 or 9.00 pm (It seems voltage drops even below 140 volts!). Already my ac outdoor motor get damaged and got replaced with new one (It is around rs 3000). Could you please take immediate action on putting new step up transformer in my area to cope up the voltage fluctuation problem. This is very critical one and do some needful on priority before other equipment get damaged
