But the connection was not given till now.I have suffered lot of mental torture and irrvocable loss. Hence I request you to be kind enough to give me the service connection as early as possible.

Hi I am a resident of LIC nagar , 5th street , S Kolathur , Madipakkam Chennai. We are also the victims of horrible power fluctivations since we reside in suburbs as many in the recent trend. The major issues starts with the quality of electricity distributed to our area and which involves capacity of the transformers to support and distribute electricity. I see many complaints here talking up on low voltage screwing up their AC’s and other high priced electrical appliances in summer which bets the very purpose of an air conditioner. While I might also have to agree on the same all round the year. But the preface of my complaint is much to do with the unethical treatment of every citizen living here. It’s like looting us with electricity charges and deposits when there is no enough voltage to make a fan function to its max capacity. The voltage distributed to our residency is less that 110 Volt which will not even support any small electrical appliance and this has nothing to do with summer or winter it’s just the same all through the year if we are lucky we are saved during rainy days which again Chennai is not blessed with many in the recent past. I am not going to write a paper here on how poor Volt distribution increased the consumption of household electricity and ultimately increase the electricity charges for no benefits enjoyed by the end user. I am also not sure how the mechanism works if someone looks through these complaints and tries to work towards the solution as this is just a procedure which will sound good on election campaign and then It become a dud . But I aint gona stop here if none of the officials are going to provide response here or many other channels I may place this complain then I will like to take this legally with all the other victims here in this forum. We need a solution and the government sector will have to stop working as if nobody care about their efficiency and responsibilities.

Since there is no response/reply from your side, I am sending this compliant to you on the above subject. Sir, According to your ASD notice, the Security Deposit held in my a/c incl. 9% interest is only Rs.183/-. But whereas I had already made caution deposits of Rs.3000/-+Rs.160/- apart from Meter caution deposit of Rs.2500/- and development charges of Rs.1400/-. What happened to those deposits and their interest? Therefore my account balance of Rs.183/-incl.9% int. shown by you appears to be wrong. Hence, I request you to kindly verify my previous deposits available in your books and those deposits are defenitely more than the required deposit. So, the ASD notice may please be reversed,which indicated my due date for payment before 30.09.2013. And i request that a reply may be given to me at the earliest. Thanking you, sir.

The Ganapathy Sanganur Road was relaid by the Corporation of Coimbatore some time back. At the time of relaying the road they raised the level of the road to 1 ft above the normal level. By this the clearance between the Service wire from the Electrical poles to the road level has reduced considerably and during night hours lots of Container lories with heavy containers loaded on them while passing the road they drag the service wires and the connections to the buildings are prevented by cutting the service wires. To replace the service wires what are the norms we have to follow with the E.B people.Even though it is a loss for the building owner due the negligence of the Corporation and the Trucks please let me know the procedure to replace the broken service wire to the building.

THANKING YOU. Please provide as much information as possible...

TNEB Website says the below words under NEWS and EVENTS column "New scheme of 30 days Assessment / Collection is introduced throughout Tamil Nadu. Assessment / Reading will be taken once in two months." What is the meaning of the above 2 contradictory sentences ? Still in chennai reading is taken once in 2 months ? Because of the increased Tariff and 2 months reading we are getting heavy bills. Govt .TNEB eating Common mans money
