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

    They think themselves are a Lord, lot of govt sector employees having this worst behavior.
    a letter with house owner's sign and house owner's id proof copy is enough

          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...

          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.

                    Revered Sir/Madam,
                    This is with reference to the Power failure yesterday afternoon ( November 20, 2014). Despite of our complaints to the respective AE and the Line man at Tondiarpet Electricity Board, the complaint remains unattended and because of this the Toddlers and the school goers who is preparing for the exams have been affected due to the utter negligence of the respective officials of the EB. It is regret to inform you that the complaint is still not attended and unaware when it will get resolved.
                    It would be of great help, if you enlighten me on resolving this issue to get rid of this extensive issue faced by us at Tondiarpet,

                        We are facing huge power fluctuation problem from 11/06/2014. We have made the complaint and till now it is not rectified. Who shall take responsibility, if any fire accidents happen at our home. We are not aware whether the complaint itself is taken into consideration/registration. Each time when we call them, they say that they will come. Frightened to use the electrical items we have switched the main off. The same is happening at MMDA colony.

                              Dear sir, I have purchased plot no.76, 1 st, Street., Venugopal Nagar, Kattur, Trichy. This is a corner plot with roads on two sides. The road width is 15' feet as per the Layout plan. Since the plot was lying vacant for a longtime the public was using part of the plot as road and the TNEB has erected Electric Post right in the middle of actual road as per the Layout plan. Already the matter was taken up by the Residents Association of Venugopal nagar but no action has been taken so far to shift the post 10 feet towards the storm water drain. As I am planning to construct my house in the plot I request you to kindly arrange for shifting the post at the earliest by about 10 feet towards the drain so that the road is relaid according to the Layout Plan and I can reclaim my portion of the plot. Thanking you, yours faithfully, Suseela Dayanand.

                                Address: Chennai, Tamil Nadu

                                My elderly parents residing at W - 22, Annanagar, Chennai 40 have been having problem with one meter not working. We have 2 meters and one meter has not been working for the last couple of months. As a result, the slab on the only working meter is too high, resulting in a very high bill, too much for a retired elderly person to afford. When we approached the Electricity dept in Annanagar, we were asked to see the Junior Engineer. We...
