New digital meter replacement

Address: Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Sir, Few days before we had TNEB employees coming to our house to replace our old meter, but while checking they informed us that the old meter is having a fault as it had electric leak (shock when they touched the old meter). They told us that we have to pay Rs 2500 for replacing this old meter with their new digital meter. Please clarify if I have to pay Rs 2500 to get the same. I reside in Kumaran colony, Vadapalani, Chennai...

For the past 1 year there are frequent electricity failures in my area (Shanmugarayan Street, Old Washermenpet, Bombay hotel opposite) and it looks like no one is taking steps to address the issue. If the problem still persists for another week I'm taking the issue up to higher grounds for a solution.

      Sir, The Janakiammal RMU under Kodambakkam division is perilously close to our compound wall. The unit is carelessly handled/maintained by the Board. The surrounding area is never cleaned with lots of plants and creepers climbing upto the top of the posts, inside boxes etc. The boxes and cables are not properly laid with cables exposed and the boxes kept open most of the time. The present condition of the RMU poses grave danger to not only to our house but to lots of public who are using the road throughout. Kindly immediate action may be taken to set right the cables and clean maintenance otf the area around the transformer.

                Pl refer to above requests. A wrong entry of Rs 11502/- for 1920 unit was mistakenly posted in my (online) a/c on 8/7 which belongs to consumer no...063. Actually the reading for my a/c was 330 unit which was taken only on 10/7. To reverse that entry I have sent above 3 requests.
                Kindly arrange to reverse the entry and post correct reading for my online payment.

                        Sir / Madam EB has replaced our old analog meter with digital almost three months back. We have charged very high in our last bill itself and when we questioned they replied that they are averaging out based on last few months. Our maximum bill ever has been near Rs. 3000/- and that too during peak summer. To our shock we have been again produced current bill for Rs.8268/- which is nearly impossible considering we all been out of station for more than two weeks. Please look in to this and help us. Also, we want our meter to be changed at he earliest.

                                During the previous rain spell moments after I drove my car through my driveway, a huge explosion occurred below the ground just in front of my gate. Flames rose to a height of my first floor and the inferno lasted for a long time. I consider it providence that mishap to my life didn't occur. During the time it took to repair that cable which went burst, the flats connected by it did without power. Apparently they were not unduly concerned so as to have the cable changed. But I was filled with alarm. I witnessed the shoddy job done. The burnt cable section of about six feet was cutout and replaced with a patch cable. It now amounted to an additional joint in this cable - over and above the dozens accumulated in the past decades.

                                The very same cable again burst yesterday evening after this season's first showers. With a fire that shot up 10 feet and road surface crackling and bursting for many minutes, the display was more ferocious than the previous.A visitor to my office had just removed her car from the vicinity when the explosion occurred. Yet, I now again see a 6 feet length of cable cut out by the shoddy repair gang and replaced by a patch cable. the same cable - with an additional joint now, would burst next. And with a lot of people coming to seek protection under my trees, this street now crowded with offices and garment processing outlets may not be spared from a tragedy the next time.

                                Respected sir/s, on account of this cable, this is a place waiting for an accident to happen. And I hope this letter of mine won't be cited as a failed warning after a mishap has occurred.

                                  There is an EB BOX near our wall, which has been left open for more than a month now. There was a connection given by the EB folks which is through the door and hence the door cannot be closed. This leave the box completely exposed to rain and sun. The wires are all open and we can see sparks coming out of the box during the rain. Please see attached pictures of the same. Kindly do the needful at the earliest before any mishaps happens to any residents.
