Sir, For about one year the number o[censored]nits consumed is 970 units, 1040 units, 1000 units, 720 units, 550 units and 760 units. We complained and we were asked to change the meter. The meter was changed in Sep 2013. Even after changing the meter, the number o[censored]nits consumed increased more. We r paying around Rs.5000 bimonthly. This month we are asked to pay additionally Rs.1523 as Cc Arrears. We have registered the complaint in www.tneb.in Kindly do take necessary action to check our meter and rectify this problem immediately.

      Respected sir/madam,
      I Am a resident of BBC apartments, 89, Adyar Gandhi Nagar, 2nd main road, Chennai.There is a thick wire passing beneath the road which can actually be seen from outside.The wire has short-circuit or earthing due to rain.As it is a common area and many residents find it difficult to park vehicles and to pass through that area.They might get a severe shock which may lead to severe injury.We even informed the EB persons(BESANT NAGAR BRANCH- phone no.[protected] and they have temporarily covered it with stones.We are finding it very difficult to pass through the area.And our flat residents are also not accepting to repair it as the workers are charging a lot to repair this issue.Therefore i request your department to immediately fix this issue as soon as possible.please inform me when you find this complaint.Thank you.

          my consumer number is 153: 002: 283 The meter reading in my house is not taken regularly. Even if it is taken, the details are not entered in the card which is kept there all the time. I than have to go to the collection centre near Kilpauk Police station, find out the bill amount and then pay. Thrice, the meter reading has not been taken at all and the bill has been paid based on the reading I took when there was no sign of the meter reading even after the 15th of the month.I checked on line, but the meter reading was not there either. Then, the entry in the card was pre-dated 10th. This has happened a few times. Kindly see that I, a senior citizen am not put to such trouble just to my dues.

We had made many complaints regarding this problem but every time only a temporary fix had been done. Even yesterday night there was single phasing at our residence from 1AM. We request you to kindly implement a more permanent solution so this problem does not occur again in the future. Thanks, Arvind R S [protected]

                        Address: Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu

                        Respected Sir, I am Vimala.V, Postal Assistant, Tiruvannamalai-H.O. I am staying at 27/3 Ist Puddu Street, Tiruvannamalai (T.V.Malai East). I have two services in this address whose numbers are given below, EB Service numbers: 1.[protected] 2.[protected] The two meter boxes of these services are placed outside the house compound, which are at the height of 4 feet from the ground and closed with visible glass doors. This month (October-2014) we tried to pay the EB bill through online, but TNEB website shows the minimum amount for the two services, but we are using the two services regularly. It is impossible to get that amount. Its mainly because of not taking the meter readings for the respective month. As I am a government official, I cant able to approach them directly in their office during working hours, so I tried to contact them through the phone this morning (15.10.14). But I got a bad response from them. This is the third time they are doing this in this year, though the meter boxes are easily accessible from outside, they are repeating this. So I request you sir to take the necessary steps and insist them to take the reading regularly and help me to pay the full amount for the service I have used for the past two months . Thank You yours faithfully Vimala.V

                              From Advocate K Satish Kumar 5/759, Lakshmi Nivas, Sabari Salai, Madipakkam, Chennai 600 091 Mobile: [protected] Dear Sir: My Distribution Numbers are[protected] and[protected]. I have two connections one in the ground floor and another in the first floor. The first floor is vacant. The distribution number for the first floor is[protected]. For the past six months meter readings have been done but the reading has been totally incorrect. The first floor meter reading has been noted as 18490 where as the actual meter reading is 1785. The meter is functioning well and it has been noted that the meter is not functioning. The response level of the meter reading person is also very uncourteous which tantamount to verbal abuse. We have been keeping our main gate door locked to avoid trespass and the "Meter Reader" has always been complaining that if the door is locked she will not be able to take reading. We have door bells too for any guests and such persons coming to the property. The door is primarily locked to avoid trespass. This may be the reason for the "Meter Reader" Grievance and hence the meter reading is incorrectly recorded. We would like the officials from the EB to come and do the checking of the meter and take corrective action for the negligence done by the EB officials. Thank You !
