Sir/ madam
I reside at 9/64 b, 6 the street, krishnanagar, virugambakkam.
Few years back our line 3 phase was snapped away by a lorry plying from our street, as my son was in 10 the standard my husband had to pay rs.10000 /- for changing the wire and during the process tneb staff at that time converted our 3 phase connection to single phase which we realised recently when there are frequent power cuts. We are suffering with single phase connection for several years for no fault of ours after spending thousands of rupees.
Since yesterday evening we have no power imagine if it happens with any of the tneb staff's residence.
I am a patient of arthritis and chronic gastritis. My son is a law student who is unable to study as per his schedule for the ensuing exams. Please ensure that our 3 phase connection is restored and power supply is not cut for the whole night. It is more than twelve hours we are suffering without electricity. Your immediate action will b highly appreciated. Thanking you.

    We have recently shifted to sennivakkam, ponneri two months ago and are having sleepless nights due to low voltage in the nights.

    Spoke to all the residents nearby and they are having these issues for years and despite complaints from them, no action is being taken by eb.

    We are really finding it difficult to sleep in the night and have started facing health issues.

    I hope they take necessary steps immediately to solve low voltage issues.

    With regards

All the neighbourhood people have power supply. We called the eb and complained many times but no action is taken and no proper response. Many times they have done like this. 4 elderly people reside here and they are suffering. Please take due action on this.

        I have paid Rs.4230 on June 16, 2017 on the visit of tneb responsible to my house and inspected the meter. He and the tenb officer at Kilkattalai promised that there shall be bill in the next biiling cycle and the advance amount shall be adjusted.

        As of now no bill is raised. To my utter surprise, when I loged in to the tneb bill payment site, it is showing " Previous assessment is not done, contact your TANGEDCO Section office for details"

        Is it not sheer harassment for the consumer?

                        I am residing in mambakkam for the past four years. Due to frequent power fluctuations, most the electrical consumable and appliances are damaged. Meters are not running and faulty. The eb office at mambakkam (Vandalur - kelam bakkam road) not changing the meters for months together. Raising average billing. Further facing the power issue and no response from eb authorities so far. If requesting to change the good transformer, they asking us to provide funds to install transformer. If rain starts immediately they are disconnecting the eb lines. But ht lines no problem they are all safe guarded by the eb authorities. I request higher officials of tangdeco to take neceeary and quick action at the earliest to resolve the issues.

                            Always or almost frequently power cut in our building.
                            Please help us with a suggestion.
                            Many times complaints have been raised but no proper response.

                            Every time we give the complaint they are least bothered to rectify it.

                            Our building facing this issue atleast for the past 4 years.
                            Ours is 3 phase current but only 2 phase is available throught the days.

                            When we go and give the complaint they postpone the issue nor never turn up

                            Please do the needful

                                    Eb reading for the number mentioned above seems to be incorrect. Excess units have been charged which is above the consumption which leads to overpayment.

                                    Kindly take measures to correct the same.
                                    Also, make a note of it and do the needful as soon as possible.
                                    Thank you.

                                      Dear sir,

                                      I am a commercial resident of no:27, edapalayam street. I am here from past 28 years and recently from past 5-6 months i am facing this problem for daily electricity power cut for either half day and even whole day.

                                      As a business man, i am regularly facing the problem for the power cut which disturbs my company's work and we are not unable to do business and also lost customers order due to frequent power cuts.

                                      When we found the problem we came to know that the electricity box near my shop has some fault which occurs in every month.

                                      This is totally unbearable the people from the tneb board come and dig right exactly from our shop.

                                      Note: if the complaint isn't solve within 15 days, i shall take the matter to the consumer court.

                                      Kindly clear the problem for once and all.

                                      Thank you.
