Very low fluctuating voltage issue since a year, have given several letters to eb signed by all area people. We have met lot of ae, ad but no use at all. They have done nothing for us in improving power. Thiruninravur north section janaki nagar. I have the transformer approval letter signed in jan still they are putting transformer useless fellows. Fix this issue for us. We have visited them multiple times but our times were wasted.

                The electricity box on pattamal street is located on a platform. This has been rusted and worn out long back and is kept covered using a cloth the picture clearly shows that it is a dangerous hazard to the public especially during rainy seasons. I think it is the fundamental duty of the eb deparment to maintain these boxes from a safety angle.

                We have made representations from our association jera (Jethnagar residents association) to the ae eb but there is no action what so ever.

                I think this is fundamental right to safety from citizen and this requires attention

                    Respected sir,

                    We people who are living in mariamman koil street, periyamanja kuppam pattaraiperumbadur, kanchipuram district. Are extremely fed up with the very low voltage power supply in our area. We have complained several times even directly to the a. E, but there is no response. Actually a transformer was sanctioned in our area about 10 months ago, but still there is no sign of it. The transformer was sanctioned to be built near our area, still we are not getting any response from tneb pattaraiperubadur. So we people who live in mariyamman koil street, naidu street, periyamanja kuppam are requesting you to take the necessary steps required, so that we people can get a normal current supply.
                    மிசர பற்றகுறையால் விவசாயம் செய்ய முடியாத நிலையில் உள்ளோம் மற்றும் கை குழந்தை வைத்து கொண்டு மின்விசிறி இருந்தும் இயங்காத நிலையல் உள்ளது ஆகையால் சம்பத்தப்பட்ட அதிகாரிகள் புகாரினை அலட்சியம் காட்டமல் துரித நடவடிக்கை எடுக்குமாறு தாய்மையுடன் கேட்டுகொள்கிறோம்

                        I'm living in gowri nagar, mugalivakkam, chennai and for past few months the voltage fluctuations in the area has increased drastically.
                        It happens from 6 pm to 3-4 am in morning and due to this, neither ac or fans can run so it has become extremely difficult to even get some sleep at night.
                        As it is summer time so the load demand will be more so now even on weekends the problem is occurring for whole day.
                        We have complained many times to the electricity board but no action has been taken by them.
                        I'm paying my taxes as well as electricity bill on time, so isn't this the responsibility of government bodies to at least provide the basic facilities to common people.

                        Please look into the matter and try to resolve it asap.

                          Dear sir/madam,

                          For the month of february 18, my eb bill was generated with a consumption of 1720 units ranging to rs.9832. I was literally shocked to see the bill and approached ae for explanation. He checked the same and asked me to pay the bill. He given an assurance that it will not be repeated in future. With all difficulties i made payment even after knowing that my consumption would not be more than 400 units. Average consumption of eb for us is 400 units.

                          May month bill has been generated on 25.5.2018 and once again got shocked looking at the unit consumption. Now bill got generated for 1970 units with bill valuing rs.11432. I dont understand what is happening and would like to inform that we are not running manufacturing unit. It is a normal residential house with basic amenities having 1 a/c, 1 tv, 1 fridge etc.

                          To add to the above, we have shifted to new rented premise on 6.05.18. So literally property is vacant for 19 days during billing cycle which is more than 30% of the period. I want tneb to look into it and help us to change the defective meter and revise the billing amount. Since i have high regards to government sector undertaking, i made 1st payment of rs.9832 without any hesitation. But same cannot be continued.

                          Consumer no[protected]

                          My last 6 billing consumption details is given below:

                          25/05/[protected] units

                                  I belongs to melvalai village, kandachipuram eb circle, villupuram district our area due to highway expansion tneb relocate the post. So far my home is connected with a post that crosses my neighbor plot. New relocation creates availability of one post which is very closer to my gate entrance. So i requested those working staffs to change the line. They redirected me to supervisor subash. He asked me to give 3000 to change. As i am an electrical engineering professor i knew those change never give any change in the network because both are consecutive post with around 50 feet distance.
                                  Is there any rule in tneb to collect 3000 rupees for post change. Was mr subash is the authorized person to collect money directly from home.

                                  In our area i enquired with my neighbors about this issue. They give good comments about tneb staffs except subash. He was a former helper of this area. So he practiced this bribe for so long period. Kindly do needful.

                                  If any higher authorities related to this. Kindly take action against mr. Subash. Line supervisor kandachipuram, villupuram district
