There is a power cut at ambattur since last night. There is nobody to look into this issue. The streets lights are very much working fine. And how come there is a power cut only at our houses. We are all working people and how can we stay awake the whole night. Such irresponsible govt employees.
Dont ask what country has done for you, ask what you have done for the country.

    This is Balaji from Valasaravakkam, Chennai (My Contact No:[protected]. Now a days in my area we are getting so many times power cut. Whenever I am making the call to 1912 they are telling silly reasons (Like Over load, Shutdown, Tripped like that) for power disconnect. Monthly once TNEB peoples full day disconnecting the power for maintenance. I have friends in entire Chennai area. But this power cut problem happening Only in valasaravakkam, Chennai area only. Just I like to know Valasavakkam also included in Chennai (City) area? Tamil nadu CM also declared there is no power cut in TN. Then what TNEB people doing? Because one or two time means that’s acceptable. Weekly 3 times making power cut and telling silly reason means that should be punishable (Respective TNEB AE Should Be Punishable. Then only they will know the seriousness of this Problem). I try to talk with Valasavakkam TNEB AE. But he respond very bad. Really I am struggling with my 3 years daughter in mid night more time because of this Powercut. Hope I will get solution here. & If I am getting the chance to Valasavakkam AE means I feel better. Just I am making the call means they are treating & talking very cheap. They are behaving & talking like owner of the TNEB. Thanks & regards, Balaji.G My Contact No:[protected].

      In Selaiyur camp road, I am paying EB bills online once the entry is uploaded so far. But for last 2 times, the EB person is refusing to take reading and uploading online as the EB card is missed and asks to meet in person at EB office. When everything is going online, what is the need of having the EB card and putting entry in it which is of no use. Why the EB person is asking to meet at their business hours 10-5 when our working hours clashes. Also when we take time to meet they are not available in office. Please rectify these mistakes and take out all paper works. Going online will ease out all works and communications.

              I reside at Kovilambakkam. The EB department is not performing their duties properly. The EB representative who is supposed to mark the reading (consumption charges) never does this on time. In other words, finds reason to skip. The meter in my house is located outside. Last time, he never came. When inquired in the office, they said the reason as "Door Locked" which I feel is invalid reason as the meter is outside. Also, when trying to raise a complaint with the AE, he refused to take the complaint and he ill treats all the consumers. I have decided to initiate a complaint to CM Cell since there is no response even for the online complaint which I initiated. thanks Vijay [protected]

                Dear Sir, In my area, there is serious problem in current line at the overhead. Most of the times it gets cut and fells down. It is very close to the houses and people cannot even stand or come out of home due to this. This is really very dangerous to the family residing there. We have given many request to EB for putting the current line to the underground by no response till now. Please take necessary action to bring the current line underground and pls save the families around. Problem area : Chennai - Kolathur - Vetri nagar-Manavaln street- 600082. Contact : [protected] Thanks for understanding

                  Address: Chennai, Tamil Nadu

                  Respected Sir, I am Rajinikanth([protected]). I have purchased an apartment in Annai Ananiya garden Phase III, Sri Rangam New town, Sakthipuram main road, Ernavoor, WIMCO Opp WIMCO Railway station Chennai-19 from ANNAI BUILDERS REAL estate’s pvt ltd (Corp office: Annai Builders Real estate’s Private limited, Alpha Center, 4 th floor, 150 151, North Usman Road, T.Nagar, Chennai-17.PH:[protected]. Till now, I am not able to get EB connection to my flat. AE, TNEB, Wimco(Asst Engineer, CEDC/NORTH/TNEB, Thiruvottiyur SS, Chennai 19) is refusing to provide EB connection to me and even He is not accepting my EB connection application form. I struggling for more than a year (from now). Mostly, He is threatening me to withdraw the case then only he will provide the EB connection to me. I am not sure under which constitutional guidance he is demanding me. Mostly, if he says that he has to provide EB connection from the problem transformer then He should not give EB connection to all the flats but he has given EB connection to all expect me. I am not sure what to do here. Even, I have represented this issue to Hon’ble CM through CM Cell petition [Petition # 2015/835332/XV, date 15/07/2015, Petition # 2014/788708/RZ, date 03/07/2014]. He is not responding for this as well. Reason behind this problem: The AE, TNEB, Wimco(Asst Engineer, CEDC/NORTH/TNEB, Thiruvottiyur SS, Chennai 19) has erected 440 volts transformer in front of my apartment. It blocking the entrance of my flat. As per the layout plan Entire Street has the entrance in that side only. There are lot of places nearby but the AE has chosen this place by his own will and without getting any guidance from me or the Annai builder. Even, it’s blocking an 14 feet road. Now, this road is not connected to the main road. I have represented objection to the AE directly and submitted the objection letter in hand. The AE didn’t consider my objection letter and started to proceed further. As a next level, I have represented/addressed this earlier in Hon’ble High Court(WP 35297, 2013) and Hon’ble High Court has given direction to remove/swift the transformer. The AE TNEB didn’t consider the court order and completed the transformer work. Once again, I have addressed this issue in Hon’ble High Court(WP 8635, 2014). Hon’ble High Court has sent a summon to the AE, TNEB. This case is still pending from the AE side. Root cause: Actually, this issue is because of the delay which Annai builder did. He didn’t start the construction as planned. Due to this, the AE TNEB is not able to locate a proper place for the Transformer. Even, builder didn’t object the transformer erection. I believe this is due to improper approach of the AE TNEB and He didn’t follow the Electricity constitutional guidance. Because of this, the allocation for this transformer in not added to Sri Rangam New township plan/layout and it made living treat over there. AE TNEB doesn’t have guts to ask the builder for the shifting charges. Instead he is threatening me to withdraw the case, which is injustice.

                    Recently we moved to Moggappair West, we were not able to make payment on due date. So when we approached the counter at Moggappair West for payment, the person at the counter refused to accept the payment stating that we had to meet the AE who would be coming to office only at a certain time. Does this mean we have to take leave from our office just to meet this AE for making payment? when we tried making through online, we are not...

We are from below address facing no street lights during night and post was totally damaged at bottom, if there is small ventilation also post will fall on our home and sure cause the public(we) damages even death . Since from 2 years we conveyed same to village superiors(they are not caring public hence they called Government officers ) but no action. Is the way they handle the situation? Request: If so please cut total power to our village instead of causing future death, Sure this will happen, so please be actionable at earliest Kolur peoples, poonthota nagar, kolur, ponneri(tk), thiruvallur dist-601205
