I keep complaining about the sloppy work done in setting up the new boxes and the cables are lying outside the unit. Never seen such a shabby work.
It is a very serious matter. People go and urinate around that area despite our telling. Kindly do something.

This transformer unit is in new avadi road between the two petrol bunks which adds to more potential danger

            Please understand that a transformer is going to be installed in front of my house at ashtalakshmi nagar, alapakkam, thiruvallur district by maduravoyal electrical division without my knowledge and prior intimation. They have placed an electric pole in front of my gate which causes obstacle to the ground floor parking area. The poles are elevated towards the road. The width of the road is less, if any two cars pass by at the same time in opposite direction there is high risk of fire accident. This place is not suitable for installing high power transformer as it is a resident area. Minority of the houses are in maduravoyal area and majority of the houses are in valasaravakkam area in the same street. Installing the transformer might cause human threat as there are many children playing near my house. There is steel zinc sheet on roof and sewage pipeline beneath near by the transformer. Hence, i request you to take necessary step to relocate the installation to other open space which is available near by area. Thank you

                    Hi sir/ madam,

                    I am resident of newperungalathur, after the analog meter was replaced with the digital meter, we see a constant increase in our home meter reading every 2 month. We suspect a faulty meter could be the reason for our abnormal current consumption and very high meter readings.
                    My tneb service no is [protected]. I am requesting tneb authority to attend this complaint with highest priority.

Hence the electric post in the 1st main road towards 1st cross street, Angel Garden, Karunya Nagar to be replaced immediately to avoid the great risk involved. Now the electric lines are touching the vehicles such as vans, lorries, tempo etc.

                                I am a resident of plot no 615b, w block, 5th street d sector, anna nagar wext extn, chennai.101. My complaint to restore connection to my residence, remains unattended for more than a month. They came and digged the road and left, leaving the live wires as it is without closing the trench, where hundreds of sboa school children are playing daily. Please advise your people to rectify the fault to my residence and close the live wires near the school.

                                  Respected Sir,

                                  I am residing in Bajanai Koil 3rd Street, Choolaimedu, Chennai – 94. The problem at our place is we are getting frequent current failures in one of the three lines and the houses which has single phase are experiencing more difficulty during night hours. The main problem is we are not able to contact the Power House EB office in the night and early morning hours through the phone no. provided for complaints i.e. 24838750. The line is ringing and no one picks the phone. When I went there both in the night time and early morning, the person there is sleeping or sitting ideally. When I keyed in the phone no. right before them it rings in my mobile but for my surprise there is no sound in the phone before them. They are keeping the sound of the phone at minimum tone level. When asked them they are saying that the phone is not working and what we can do for that, but the same phone is ringing and being picked in the day hours.

                                  Because of this we are regularly having problems at the night time sitting without power the whole night, which is at least one or two days in a week. Please think over the school going children, babies, and old people during this time with lot of mosquitoes in this area. In the day time and morning hours we can reach the AE through his mobile, but I cannot disturb him in the late nights because of this useless night duty staffs.

                                  If by accident any major problems arise at night I do not know how we can contact the EB office during night times.

                                  When we contacted the officers they are telling that the phone attending persons are working in a contract basis, and they cannot order them.

                                  Since electricity station is high alert area kindly please pass orders for them to pick the phones round the clock and also make arrangements to stop the frequent power failure in that one line and help the children and old persons living in our street.

                                  Note: For the last week the power failure is occurring on a daily basis both at night and day time, which the concerned persons can check with the complaint book at the EB office. Today also the power went off at 4:00 a.m., which after given complaint was not rectified till keying in the letter 10:40 a.m.

                                  Kindly proceed this to the concerned persons for their early action.

                                    The EB meter reading staff do not come to our premises to take readings. We have regular 24 hr duty Security and there is no record anywhere to show the TNEB staff have come to take the Reading.
                                    Last Saturday 15th of October at about 1 pm.two gentlemen claiming to be staff of TNEB came to my Apartment showing a slip of paper saying they have come to disconnect the Electricity connection since I have not paid the charges.When I demanded Identity Card they did'nt have any. When I asked them to show me the official order for disconnecting the line without giving any notice or coming to take readings. My EB card will show that there are no readings recorded and yet they ask us to pay up or will disconnect. On 15th I had to pay up Rs.9634/ within one hour (on saturdays office closes by 2.30pm). IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THEY PARTICULARLY MAKE IT A POINT TO COME ONLY ON A SATURDAY AND THEN ONLY AFTER 1 PM .I CALL FOR AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE MATTER.

                                      Sir/madam,
                                      We five families live in a residential complex comprising two blocks in an apartment, "srinivasa aparments, a & b block, astalakshmi

                                      Chennai-116.". At various floors and blocks. However, few of the owners of the apartment let out equal share of flats to an agent who runs a paying guest accommodation not having permit from government (No registration number, he has violated almost all rules of an apartment). The connections are under residential tariff. He has placed nearly 20 airconditioners in those apartments and due to the over rated consumption we all suffer a power failure for nearly last three years. Enough care and advice was given to him to change connection to commercial and necessary changes to the electrical wiring (Gauges) for the over rated consumption. No action was initiated by him. This may cause a electrical fire accident and huge loss to the government as residential connection being used for commercial purpose. You may please take against this person at the earliest to save all o[censored]s and the revenue to the government, a sever penalty must be charged retrorespectively.
