Daily they cut power for nearly 3 hours in the night and intermittently during day time. (Vyasa nagar area). Aged people, children and sick people suffer very much without sleep. The things kept in fridge get spoiled which is a big monetary loss for middle class people. We are very sad that when the people running the government which distributes freebies for non-taxpayers will realise the plight of middleclass taxpayers from whom the government gets most part of its income. Now non-tax payers are fortunate that they get everything free and taxpayers are treated as fools/ beggers. Moreover, those who use 510 units will pay rs.700 more than who use 500 units. Does the eb/government think that those who use 510 units are very rich when compared to those who use 500 units? Brilliant!!! Most of the middle class people use more than 500 units in 2 months. Many middle-income people live with pension or meagre income. Every rupee they earn they calculate and spend. At the same time many people who are distributed free things have a better lifestyle than this middleclass group. There is a very big group of people who pay tax sincerely and spend everyday in tears and curses because of this stepmotherly treatment of our government and even if they complaint there are no ears to listen to that.

              This is the complaint for the low voltage power supply at Medavakkam.

              We reside near Medavakam EB office. We are phasing low voltage problem for every summer during the month of April to July during the nigh time it is very worst. We are sleepless at whole night after returning from work We are depressed can't able to sleep for a single night, We afraid to run our home appliances such as Fridge, washing machine. Evan fan is not running properly. I have requested E and AE for several times regarding this issue, But as of now it is not resolved.So I am declaring the complaint in the public forum.

              I am sharing due to we are resistant near to EB office and We are phasing such a problem even a fan is running properly thats the main concern. We are not looking for the AC to run but a basic thing fan is not running this shows the worst/poor service of Tamil Nadu Electricity Board.

                          Dear sir,
                          We the residents of 7th main road, ramnagar south, madipakkam are facing low voltage problem every summer and we have raised the compliant last year also. We are happened to know that new transformer is to be installed but till date we hope it has not yet done. Every night we are having sleepless nights due to the non working of acs and very low speed running of fans. We are afraid of running the refrigerators, tvs, mixies etc due to the frequent fluctuations in the power supply. Hence we request you to look into this matter very urgently as we are facing problems especially with kids and senior citizens.

                          Regards

                            Kindly please check into the problem of ours. Daily we are seeing a pattern of powercut specifically at night times, especially at night 10.30 till 11.30 or 12.
                            We didn't hear any such incidents from our friends.
                            We are staying at Thiru V K Nagar 3rd Street, Kadaperi, Tambaram Sanatorium.
                            And we are not able to reach the concerned Kadaperi EB for the problem and we are not able to figure out the causality of power cuts.

                              Dear Concern,

                              Sub: Need permanent solution for power cut problem for our Area

                              Bank colony, 5th Street
                              Madhavaram Milk Colony Post,
                              Chennai - 600051

                              For the past 1 week, Power goes out at 10 Pm and gets normal by 6 am. During 10 pm to 6 am, power comes and goes around 20 to 30 times along with heavy fluctuations.

                              Childrens, Old persons, Office Goers are suffering a lot.

                              As a consumer, we want to know the reason for these unannounced power issues.
                              Is TNEB unprepared / non-capable to handle such loads every summer. Why TNEB is not proactive in addressing such issues.

                              We feel electricity tariff has gone up but quality of TNEB service have gone down a lot.

                              TNEB provide permanent solution, dont make consumers suffer every summer

                              Regards
                              Bala

                                  Brahmin Street Velachery has been facing heavy fluctuations for sometime due to lack of dedicated transformer
                                  Acs don't work even during the day when heat is oppressive and nights are equally bad with very high to very low voltage fluctuations .
