Power has not been restored on 7th avenue, ashok nagar chennai (Near sangamam hotel). Its been more than 72 hours that we are without electricity.

Power has been restored in all nearby areas, except this stretch. There are no uprooted trees obstructing power supply and our power cable has been laid underground.

Multiple calls to ae, ee and supdt engineer have gone unanswered. Sms have also not been replied to.

    Sir,
    Ervice number :[protected]
    R. Thanupillai. Kurinchi nager, putheri.

    I am staying alone in this house for rent. Last three months most of the time i used to stay in my friends room only. Even if i am staying in my home i used to stay in night time only. Every friday evening i move to my native in tirunelveli dt. I consumed very less units of current only.

    But this month billing they added rs 300 extra as average shortfall. But i am sure that i have consumed very less units only. I have paid rs.711/- it is very high amount for me.

    So please consider my humble request and please refund my excess money paid. How can they decide the meter is defective. I was not there so the reading will be very less only.
    Please do the needful.

      Dear sir,
      I am staying in no. 73/31, 6th street kamaraj nagar, avadi, chennai-71. There is no electricity power supply since 12.12.2016 after vardah cyclone. I am working as a senior audit officer, at ag's office, and having small children. The nearby streets got power connection except 6th street. Its very difficult to go office since my presence at office is most essential. Kindly do the needful to restore back the supply at the earliest please.

          Respected Sir/Madam,

          My Connection#[protected]

          I'm residing at 5/671, 135th Muthamizh Nagar, Kodungaiyur, Chennai. From May 2016 onward our meter reading is show excess reading like 686 units, 590 units, 890 units it is keep on increasing, we complaint the same in EB Office but no one listening to us and saying that Rs. 1000.00 very common.

          We have only 3 tubelights, 2 Fans, 1 Tv and 1 Mixer Grinder.

          Tamil Nadu government announced first 100 units were free if that is the case we should receive less but every month it is increasing. Please check and take necessary actions.

          Expecting your immediate assistance at the earliest

          Thanks & Regards,
          K. Sathish Babu

                1) till 01/08/16, every thing is good and normal, I am paying EB bills using https://www.tnebnet.org/awp/. On average bill amount is Rs 100.
                2) On 02/08/16, I have received bill by email normally, but i found something suspicious, All components including CC Charge is 'zero' but total amount is 114. I logged in to https://www.tnebnet.org/awp/ and found "DOOR LOCK" in Status. Its a small apartment and all electricity meters are in same place which is always accessible. Then i checked the meter and I found it dead(No display).
                3) I have paid the bill on 03/08/16 and later registered a complaint using https://www.tnebnet.org/awp/ on 05/08/2016.
                4) On 04/10/16, I have received bill by email again. This time bill details are showing status as "NORMAL", used units as 570 and Total Bill Amount as 856. I have verified the meter again it is in same state (No Display)
                5) I have checked the complaint status using https://www.tnebnet.org/awp/. It is showing "Reply Given by AEE" as status, but i couldn't find any reply message.
                6) I have paid bill to avoid disconnection and then visited EB office. They are refusing to take complaints. They are saying Owners only should come, Online complaints won't reach here, this is only way this branch operates, etc.
                7) Again i received bill today 01/11/16 again. Now bill is showing, status is "NORMAL", Used Units are 470, Total Bill Amount is Rs 1040.

                Q1) In case of dead meter why status and readings are random?
                Q2) For the same case why first time status is 'DOOR LOCK', And from next time 'NORMAL' and random reading?
                Q3) From where this random reading coming?
                Q4) To inform about meter failures, should owner only visit EB office?
                Q5) Will i get credit/refund from EB due to invalid random readings?
                Q6) What happened to complaint I registered through https://www.tnebnet.org/awp/, Where and what is the "Reply Given by AEE"?

                    The plot is at Babu nagar Pattabiram. This is a corner plot abutting MTH road and Anna Road (Babu nagar). One electric post is on the side of MTH road and the wires are crossing my plot and going to Babu nagar. We do not know when it was erected. We were out of station for the past three years and we have not noticed that it will be a problem for us when we start construction. Now I have started construction of a building in that plot and the over head wires would be a danger for our building and the workers who work in that building.

                                    Dear sir, Today(12-Nov-2016) i went to pay the bills and in the amount collection centers they ask to give the correct change. Usually every time they ask like this always, if they have no change then we have to move away by losing the amount. Today i want to pay Rs9911 and i am having the amount Rs10911 by expecting the balance amount Rs100. But they refused to accept the amount and ask me get the change. Further asked for the reason, they are telling that the higher authorities informed like that. Before me an old man give away his Rs17 to the counter man. How the Government office is running like this in these kind of days?
