    I am residing at crown court located in Kilpauk. We do not have current for the past 30 hours. There is water log all around our place with no access to the outside. The water is getting polluted alot and children's and elders r facing alot of diseases. We have been trying to contact the electricity board but we have not got any response. The phone is always engaged. It is d worst management w have ever seen. The electricity board is acting very irresponsibly and they r providing no help at all. We request you to provide a help to us as soon as possible.

        Date of Incident : 28-Nov-2015 I have missed to pay my EB bill for thrice due to Internet payment facility wasn't accessible. Since I missed my payment date of first. Thereafter, there wasn't any notification about the payment due or remainder to my mail ID and I checked few time after some days. the same problem was experienced. One day The govt. officials came and disconnected my connection and asked me to report to office . 1. I was at their place in 15 min. 2. They asked me to wait untill there were no Public people at their premises (4 hours), without stating any reasons and disclosing the balance payment. 3. Once they found an opportunity to play game. They called me and gave a rough estimate of 2000 units * 19.5 INR = approx 48, 000 (even though my tariff was only 6.5 INR ) . But actual due was only approx 17, 000 4. Somehow I managed to arrange 20, 000 and went to their office. 5.Officer started to abuse, asking to arrange for 48, 000 and submit the available cash to him. 6. I walked away and arranged 5000 from my friend and gave him 25, 000 7. He billed for actual amount 17000 and started to convince me that. he had made changes in government record in favor of me and asked me to leave his premises. 8 I demanded for my Balance cash and started arguing and I rang up to higher officials. 9. After 20 min of argument, he gave receipt for balance my as Advance. Problem to be rectified: 1. Not disclosing actual bill value by Cash counter representative 2. Online payment facility should be to capable to send notification mail, if bill aren't payed 3. Govt officials aren't ethical at their work place. 6.

            Still we are facing the issue, we use to call frequently TNEB Section Rajbhavan [protected], but the numbr is out of service. no one is pickup the call while trying for TNEB Section Rajbhavan AE :[protected].
            the worst part is we tried for TNEB Section Guindy :[protected], they simply told not their scope of support as well no any other contact numbers.

            so how i proceed further?
            Is it the way the govt response for people who paying tax and bills on time?
            there is no rain fall on last 2 days, what is the fault makes the power supply cut for more than 24 hours? why the team can't fix it till now.
            are they aware of this issue?

            Whom to i escalate further???

                          MTH Road Annexe was water logged 2 days back. The lane was blacked out since then. Number of times calls made to EB office, 1912 and the AE. No response. Past 15 hours not a drop of water is there. Power is not restored. AE not attending calls. AD answer was irresponsible. No planning from so called engineers. Hence this complaint. Life is miserable without basic amenities without Power.

                                Dear sir,
                                I am Dinesh Kumar, residing in Flat no 2A, Ashvini abinita, Kaveri salai, Kalashetra colony, Besent Nagar, Chennai 90. Consumer no : [protected].
                                During the mid-month of Oct2015 they have changed electronic meter. Our last month bill (Bill dated 28th Oct 2015) is Rs. 8010/-. Present reading as shown in the EB bill is 870 units, whereas the current reading in the meter is showing only 87 units.

                                In last one year our EB bill has never crossed Rs. 1500/- even during the summer season (April, May, June). We have raised the complaint through website and also have written as letter to EB office besent nagar, but no proper action was taken. Kindly look into this and solve the issue. Not affordable to pay this huge billing amount of Rs. 8010/-
                                From, 25/11/2015

                                Dear Sir,
                                This is to inform you that from December 2014 to March 2015 the arrears amount of Rs: 5273/= (Five thousand two hundred and seventy three only) has been added for the Vacant portion of the EB reading No:[protected] which was under Renovation. I reported the same issue to seven wells Chennai EB office JE to which no response was provided. They insisted me to pay the above mentioned amount tallying the present month also so I have pay total amount of Rs: 8591/= (Eight thousand five hundred and ninety one only)

                                Therefore Iam requesting you to refund the above paid arrears amount of Rs: 5273/=
                                (Five thousand and two hundred seventy three only) thereby is reducing in my future incurring Eb bills.

                                NOTE : EB CASH RECEIPT NO:AC 1986600 ( image added )
                                Hoping you to solve the above issue as soon as possible.
                                Thanking You!

                                  I stay in Mayor Basudev St, Old Washermenpet, ch-21 wherein we had power cut bcoz of cable fault on 14 Nov 2015 early morning around 7 am. After N number of calls made to TNEB few TNEB staffs came and did the work evening around 6 clock which lasted only for 2 hours and again the cable busted with heavy smoke. Now it is 10 pm on Nov 15 and we are yet to get the power. While I understand that rain interrupted their work if they had ignored their lethargic attitude this could have been easily corrected on 14th or at least 15th. However TNEB officials gave connection to few neighbours illegally and I am sure that this would have been done taking bribe. I just wanted to do my duty of complaining and it's upto officials whether to take action or not. I am eager to see the action now and the purpose of this forum.

                                    TNEB Post (Old Cement Post) need to be changed since this got damaged very badly after 50+ years since it plant. We have got the EB Connection from this post and it's in very danger position, We could see only the RODS available and the Cement blocks came out of the post. If it fell down, it affects the local power distribution and cause a fire accident to the nearby house
