    From: J.Kalaivani Muthamizh Nagar, Kodungaiyur, Chennai-600118 Sir/Madam We are suffering due to this powercut.Daily after 10pm the power shuts off.sometimes it may come within 1hr.but most of the times it will come at early morning only.We didn't sleep due to this problem.Our area EB is not taking any action.The Government announced powercut timing is also from 8am to 6pm.Then why should they turn off power after 10pm. Please take some actions.. Otherwise we are planning to highlight the same to (CM) secretary for further action.

              Reading for meter No: 148:38:437 was taken regularly and Payment was made regularly upto 14.05.14. The meter reading as on 14.05.14 was Rs.290 and the average reading every bimonthly is around Rs.300. Meter reading was taken by a lady on 11.07.14, who said that the meter is not working. While I checked through the net the amount for the above meter was BLANK . Department staff came a few days back, fixed a used meter and said we have to pay Rs.2500/- . Now the meter reading for the above number 148:38:437 is shown on the web as Rs.1926/-. The house is used by an elderly couple. Please look into the matter and take necessary action on the meter reading and the person responsible for the mental agony. An early reply will be appreciated.
              for the consumer No. 458.007.218, abnormal meter reading is found. kindly take steps to rectify the fault meter and return the excess amount paid.

                  Hello Sir, I am residing in Selli Amman Kovil Street, Annanagar, Nemilicherry, Thiruninravur - 602024 Last One Year there is serious low voltage in our locality. All the electric equipments are getting damaged and during night, even fan could not run due to very low voltage supply. Few years before, there were very less houses and so there was no issue with regard to electricity, but now there are houses built and hence more consumption at the locality. Also the reason could be there is no transformer at our locality. People not willing to come with me, becos they afraid if we raise a complaint to Thiruninravur TNEB department will punish the people through power cut like that. Request you to kindly look into this issue and fix a transformer (or) change our Electricity Line from Thiruninravur TNEB to AVADI TNEB, so that we can have appropriate supply of electricity. Thanks Santhosh Kumar.P [protected]@gmail.com Selli Amman Kovil Street, Annanagar Nemilicherry Chennai - 602024
                  Sir, I am residing in the 5th Main Road of Ram Nagar South, Madipakkam. We have low voltage problem especially at night but also during day time nowadays. The voltage drops to 130 V in all three phases. Due to this problem, my electrical appliances are in danger. Please rectify the problem.

Kindly correct the digital meter equipment to avoid the future ambiguity. It is very difficult to pay a huge amount if it requires in future Regards. B.Kumarapandiyan +91-[protected]

                                    I would like to bring it to your attention regarding the safety concern. In between electrical poles, the HV overhead power lines are at a height of less than 7 feet from ground. The safety risk was raised to the concerned authorities and requested to address on high priority as the same could become hazard (potential threat to losses of humans and also other inhabitants in that area). To our surprise, the issue has not been resolved till date. The location of these Over head Power lines are located at Pallavan Thiru Nagar & Sankarachariyar Nagar. The nearest land mark is Arunachalam's Iyer house. The issue should be resolved immediately as this could potentially be dangerous and TNEB is responsible and accept complete responsibility for the post incident claims. To support our claim the pictures has been enclosed for quick & immediate response. If there is no response in 72 hours, the same shall be escalated to the higher authorities in writing and also to publish in media (local news papers, radio & TV) for awareness compelling immediate response / action plan.
