            This is a complaint about no power in or fluuctuation of power for more thannot18 hrs ashthalakshminagar 13th street, this is absolutely the worst cities i have lived in, where there is no in charge of any concerns, this is actually dangerous and because of power fluctuating the electronic devices are not working and am sure nobody from the govt will be responsible for this. You better fix this issue, this is not the first time this has happened for the past 6 months it has happened several times

                Ref: eb consumer no.[protected].

                In the mes card referred above, the reading amount has been written as 355 units current consumption charges rs.695/- on 20.08.2018. This current consumption charges rs.695/- was paid on 31.08.2018. The due date is 10.09.2018. Payment made well in advance. On the same date 20.08.2018, rs.2, 084/- has been charged on the mes card on nmc. As such we launched an online complaint (No.[protected]) for the appeal against this nmc charge of rs.2, 084/- compliant registered on 18.09.2018. The reply through the reply checked on the online showed as’ to be processed’. On 12.10.2018, the mes staff telephoned to me and said that they are disconnecting the mes connection. Immediately, i rushed to the mes office at chetpet. The mes staff said that they have erroneously included the disconnection list and that they will rectify the same. They said that this amount has been charged by the anna nagar, mes office and they will inform me over cell phone after clarification at the anna nagar office.
                Due to water scarcity in our area we have stopped using ac, washing machine and water heater etc. But not considering the this fact the staff took up the highest bill paid by us at an average and impounded nmc charges at a random unnecessarily.


                Pray action, grant justice and exempt me from the nmc, bpsc, and rc other than the mes due consumed bill.
                Yours faithfully,

                          Hi,

                          Last three years our mango form production is very poor due to water issues, so we have put a borewell and applied electricity connection in uthukottai, but je kumaraguruvan is asking bribe of 40000 and connection charges 10000 and during fitting he needs 1000 for 20 people and food. We are doing agriculture and government is encouraging to do agriculture but electricity board is killing us like this,. And i told i will not encourage bribe you have to give connection, it been ages but he is saying ad is stopping the connection, but this je is very rude in behavior and making us to walk to the eb station for at least 20 + times, shall we die or will you arrange connection?

                              Please find below the photos of tamilnadu electricity board (Tneb) electrical post at damaged condition.
                              This electrical post is around 30 years old and condition of the electrical post is very pathetic and it can fall at any time.
                              We have complained the same to concern zone representatives of tneb (Ambattur) but no action has been taken as of now.
                              People living in this street are very much scared and it can create a fatal incident any time.
                              We request you to kindly take immediate action to replace the damaged electrical post.

                                I have requested eb board to change the meter for temporary on 18th october 2018 and paid the amount for the same. And 3 field officers came on 24th october 2018 to change the meter board. Finally they are demanding for 1000rs as a charge for their work. We don't have a option to say no, because of we need the electricity. Please take an immediate action to those field officers and branch officers. And this has to be stopped.

                                Please find the location details below.
