Respected sir,
We are living in Naickkan palyam Village, pollachi(T.K). In this village also called as Karuppam palayam. My home opposite have one street light . In that street light is standing around for 200 homes. It is very old and damaged. It will fall for any second to the ground .If its fall, It will definitely make any damages and most of the peoples are die . The people are compliant to the village president Illavathi Madam. But, she is not take the any action to the street lamp . Please sir, Take the action and save our life

EB Office — No Power from Morning in our house

Irresponsible staffs in Madipakkam EB office (Near Bus Terminus). Please warn them to serve public in priority or dismiss them.

We are the residents of Sankarapuram 2nd Street, Palavakkam, Chennai – 600041, here we are facing low voltage and frequent fluctuation in current for many many months. In spite of giving repeated complaints to the Electricity Board this problem is not rectified. Even the most commonly used electric equipments which are mandatory are not functional, we are running without water for days together as the motor pump is not working due to low voltage. We were earlier informed that the problem is due to our house being towards the end of distribution of power from the transformer which is quite a distance from our area, we were also informed that two new transformers have been allotted for our area whereas now after 5-6 months have passed but no sign of any improvement in fact the situation has worsened. Because of this issue, we do not even get the benefits of electrical equipments such as AC/Fridge/Washing machine on time, especially during these peak summer months. Families with infants and elders who are bed ridden are the most affected. It is our request that this matter be given some importance and looked into.

damaged lamp posts

3 lamp posts are damaged. Many times we are informed to Mailody EB dept. They are no actions and no responses. Any time that posts are fall on people.

Hi,
I am thiru residing in alandur, chennai. In our area also EB reading is not taken for past 3 months. Don't know why getting the same reply 'person will come'. But people's talk is that if the reading is delayed then we have to pay money on slab rate basis. So government will get more revenue. Is that true ????

EB Department. They are not giving either good support or response to the consumer now a days. In addition, they are not doing their day-to-day work. The same case for the Kilkattalai, Kovilambakkam and Nanmangalam (Near Madipakkam, Chennai) as well. They are expecting public to pay the bill with penalty... Very long queue to feed the data into the system and another queue for payment... people... EB ... government

I have applied for Agriculture power connection under tatkal scheme by paying Rs.2.5 lacs but I have not got the connection even after 8 months, though the Department is supposed to give service within 6 month of receipt of application. On several follow-ups the local Asst.Engineer says he has not got poles and necessary materials from the Superintendent's office.

Please suggest what I should do for immediate power connection.

Thanks,

Sir,
I am ganesan from dindigul I have applied new service connection nearly two month ago but

till i did not get any reply and still silent i want to know when i will get the service another

recent that i am going to open my new shop and getting late kindly please sent me

when i will get it
Thanks// ganesan

just write down a petition to that particular eb office about this issue under right information act 2005. they should response your petition within 30 days otherwise you can take a legal steps against them. just asking about "right information act 2005" from others, then you will realized.

I am Jagannathan, living in Cuddalore, Veli Semmandalam, Rajiv gandhi Nagar. Often on phase in our street is getting tripped while resuming power after scheduled power cut.
Many times TNEB personal rectifying the same, but they could not able to solve the issue.
This type of problems need to addressed and rectified.
Due to this every week we are facing extra 15 hours power cut problem along with scheduled power cut.

We are living in 4th trust cross street, Mandavalli ch 28. The problem is for the last one year there has been persistent, perennial, very fastly fluctuating voltage.This problem is getting aggravated day by day and for the last six months it has become unbearable.

Even if stabiliser is installed the technicians opine that it would be unable to control any rapid voltage fluctuations. The voltage fluctuations are so fast that the stabilisers would be unable to read them and also technically they are not equipped to arrest such rapid fluctuations. Now this causes and has caused serious damages (total damages) to Airconditioner compressors, Mixies, motorpumps, bulbs, chokes, refrigerators etc.The local tneb office have clearly informed us that they are unable to do anything in the matter because only establishing substations would solve the problem and they have already informed the higherups about this problem. The main problem for establishment of substation is lack of space as they require six grounds . That means it is very clear that this problem cannot be solved in the near future and the residents of mandavalli have to put up with this basic infrastructure defect. Several emails even to chairman tneb board go unanswered? Does not the board have any solutions for this when we can boast that we have world class Nuclear power stations but not a simple wire to prevent voltage fluctuations? Should citizens of mandavalli be punished like this and eventually forced to vacate the place?
Let tneb board answer this please.
