I along with my daughter am the consumers of the above said connection under Pammal Sub-Station. For the last one month almost every night around 10.30 PM the power supply 5th Cross, LIC Colony, Pammal is disconnected and power is resumed almost after two hours only. And other surrounding areas are provided with power supply throughout the night. I have made innumerable complaints to the Asst. Engineer ([protected]) and the Asst. Executive Engineer ([protected]), which has fallen into deaf ears. The TNEB Tele. No. 22483746 is off the hook throughout the disruption period. On 10 June 2014, I made a complaint on Telephone No. 1912 and obtained complaint No.1769. On 18 June 14 the same thing happened and I have complained to 1912 at 12.15 AM vide Complaint No.22 and to the EB Chairman’s Complaint Cell Vide Complaint No.CC04. It has been learnt trough reliable sources that the power supply is disconnected and clandestinely and diverted to one Jain Housing Society at Chrompet. This alleged diversion is a serious offence and is hereby requested to look into the matter with grave concern and take appropriate punitive action on the errand officers. This complaint doesn’t pre-empt my right to seek information through Right to Information Act. Therefore, you are requested to look into the matter, take appropriate remedial action and please revert back as early as possible. Best Regards Sylesh Babu

I have constructed a new home(Single Bed room), at that time I have taken commercial connection. 6 months back construction is completed and we are staying in the new home. I have given request letter 4 months back for changing the connection to Domestic. Till now they are not changed. Yesterday I went to Manappakam Office and enquired about the application.They are saying they have lost the request letter and now it is not possible to change. They are asking me to pay 12 rupees per unit for total consumed units till today. I have paid my previous bills regularly, now why I have to pay extra amount? please help me to change the connection to domestic. Thank you, Mohan

        Dear sir, I am the resident of Gandhi Nagar Adyar and am a senior citizen. We in this area, are facing constant power failures and when we try to contact 044=24913001, it is always busy and the reason they give us is they attend to the complaint calls. Four days back we had power failure from 12 in the midnight till next day morning 6.30am, I would have made atleast 150 calls that night. Even now the power is not there from 10.30pm and the time now is 11.45pm. I had tried at least 25 calls but no body bothered to attend my call. This is a serious thing which might force people like me to approach CM's cell and the concerned department secretary. Your action is needed in this. Even the AE is not approachable. Thanks. Natarajan.

                      Iam a resident of Kodambakkam Parangusapuram. Yesterday (June 15th 2014) our power supply was shut by 9pm. Even after countless number of complaints the response to the complaint was damn slow. by 1 am we received the supply and when we enquired about what was wrong and why our street keeps facing this trouble every single night the lineman's reply was shocking, not only was he rude but he threatened to cut the supply again if we keep asking him questions. What kind of behavior is it? By 2 am again power supply was hindered but this time it was just our building and another building nearby. Our area AE NEVER attends our call 90% of the time our local EB station also does the same thing. Everytime we ask them the reason they keep telling cable is at fault, we have been receiving the same answer for 1 1/2 years without any permanent solution for this. With the Hon' CM promising uninterrupted power supply is this what you do?? 15 hours of power shut in KODAMBAKKAM (heart of the city). Irresponsible replies, ignorance, arrogance, never provide permanent solutions is what your department does causing physical and mental torture to the public. We would like immediate PERMANENT (change of cable) solution to our issue. Regards Concerned Citizen

                              We went to overseas to visit our son for just 1 month, we even pass the EB note card to our neighbour, but while the respective personnel came for EB reading they didn't care and just requested to cut off the power supply. This caused a lot of inconvenience to us after we return back . We are promptly paying EB bill for the past years and The department need to take immediate action on this . Thanks and regards, hameed...

                              Hi,

                              Till last month, I was able to make payment through online, but unable to do so this month.

                              Please help.

                              Also noticed that my previous amounts was an average of 800, but this month its increased to 3500. During the month of May, I was out of station for almost 15 days, hence the amount should be lesser than previous months.

                              Requesting to check the same and solve both issues.

                              Thanks

Sivanesan Consumer Address:Flat No.5, First Floor, Block No.C, Verdant Acres, Plaza Building, Perumbakkam Excess Meter reading has been taken in the month of March Bill. The Excess Meter reading Letter had given at Sithalapakkam branch on 26Apr and 13 May 2014 as Reading on 29Jan 4170 and on 29 Mar 4415. The March'2014 month bill had come 92, 247.50 rupees and it shown as 16230 units consumed. The guy who had come for reading has been taken incorrectly or he has not aware of taking the reading in digital meters. The actual reading is 245 units for march month. This is a normal house on an average for the past 3 years we consumed only 250 units for every 2 months. We have been submitting letters to TNEB office at sithalapakkam branch but there is no action from them. Also, we have submitted complaints in online as well, but there is no response from TNEB department. Could you please take this into account and forward it to the necessary departments ASAP. Your help would be much appreciated. We have tried almost all the options to reach TNEB but there is no proper response from them. Thanks
