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.
t.s.viswanathan Mandavalli

people and the government are rediculus and they dont care about people because they are government servent.i am aurely thinking that i wont vote anymore in future election.

Hi Sir,

This is the complaint for the low voltage power supply at Medavakkam.

We reside near Medavakam EB office. We are phasing low voltage problem for every summer during the month of April to July during the nigh time it is very worst. We are sleepless at whole night after returning from work We are depressed can't able to sleep for a single night, We afraid to run our home appliances such as Fridge, washing machine. Evan fan is not running properly. I have requested E and AE for several times regarding this issue, But as of now it is not resolved.So I am declaring the complaint in the public forum.

I am sharing due to we are resistant near to EB office and We are phasing such a problem even a fan is running properly thats the main concern. We are not looking for the AC to run but a basic thing fan is not running this shows the worst/poor service of Tamil Nadu Electricity Board.

I'm staying in Sowmya Nagar. For the past 10 days there is often power cut and worst power fluctuations. This is happening in only Sowmya Nagar 9th Street and 10th Street. People over here complained a lot of times but is in vain. Particularly there is no power on night times which is causing lack of sleep. We can tolerate to limit but there are babies and children in our area who a re suffering a lot. They don't care about our locality people, also to.mwntion night time they take the phone receiver out so when ever we call we get busy reply

We are staying swmiya nagar 11th street, there is no current in whole night with out any reason, even try to call electric department it says busy busy, what a ridiculous people around here. These are ####### bugs ruining our countries reputational damage.

This is the complaint for the low voltage power supply and frequent power cut at Medavakkam.

We reside near Medavakam pillaiyar kovil street inside perumal kovil arch.We are phasing low voltage problem for every summer during the month of April to July during the nigh time it is very worst also frequent power cut or failure. In a day atleast 5-6 times it will be more than 3 hours.We are sleepless at whole night after returning from work We are depressed can't able to sleep for a single night, We afraid to run our home appliances such as Fridge, washing machine. Evan fan is not running properly. I have requested E and AE for several times regarding this issue, But as of now it is not resolved.So I am declaring the complaint in the public forum.

I am sharing due to we are resistant near to EB office and We are phasing such a problem even a fan is running properly thats the main concern. We are not looking for the AC to run but a basic thing fan is not running this shows the worst/poor service of Tamil Nadu Electricity Board.

WHEN I ASKED ON TNEB VALASARAVAKKAM THEY SAID
NOTE : this statement is given by employer of TNEB

Summer is already taking its toll on the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB). Hobbled by a serious power shortage, the board now faces shortages of electrical components and materials in the city section offices.
TNEB employees who are not supplied with the required cables and other equipment to rectify faults say they even have to take money from consumers to procure the materials required.
Apart from meters, the board has 10, 000 km of low tension (LT) cables and at least 8, 000 km of high tension (HT) lines. At least 70 per cent o[censored]nderground cables in Chennai are very old and around three to five faults are reported in each section every day.
TNEB employees say the LT and HT cables are often damaged when other departments like Metro Water or Chennai Telephones dig the roads to lay cables.
"As summer has already begun we get more than five cable fault complaints in each section every day. Our seniors say we should ensure that there are no complaints. How is that possible when the cables are too old? The management is not supporting us with the necessary materials, " a TNEB employee complained.
The board usually purchases 1, 000 to 2, 000 tonnes of insulation compounds every year which are used to replace LT cable joints. Every section is also supposed to maintain a stock of 10 metres of 120 sq mm and 240sq mm cables every day. "We haven't had any stock at all for the past few months. We are helpless. When we get complaints, we take money from the consumer and buy cables from local electrical shops and do the repairs."
For instance, many commercial outlets in T Nagar are drawing power through direct connection due to meter faults. A senior employee of TNEB said around 40 meters in T. Nagar have been due for replacement for the past six months but have not been replaced as there short supply from the board to the section offices.
When this newspaper contacted TNEB regarding shortage of materials, a senior official said, "There is no shortage of materials and TNEB ensures that the materials required are purchased on time. We maintain stocks of cables, insulation compounds and meters.”


WHY THE TNEB DOING LIKE THIS WE DON'T KNOW?
TRY TO SOLVE OUR STREET SERVICE CABLE PROBLEM IMMDLY OR OTHERWISE TRY TO PUT THE TRANSFORMER IMMDLY.OTHERWISE IT WILL BE TAKEN TO SERIOUSLY FOR THE NEXT STAGE. SOLVE THE PROBLEM IMMDLY.


WITH REGARDS...

DCW job pending

I have made a payment Rs.80730/- on 08.11.2014 at Tamilnadu Electricity Board Manavalakurichi for a DCW job. But the job not yet done. I have problem to get the construction approval. Please do the needful. Thanks.

I have applied for a single phase connection in the site of our residential construction at Medavakkam on 8.9.09 and I am yet to get the connection. Whenever I enquire they cite scarcity of meters as the reason.

It is high time the Government of Tamilnadu take cognizance of this serious issue and ensure normalcy is restored.

When the central Government is so focussed on 6% growth such laxity can have adverse effect in construction activities and resultant growth.

Will the 'Tamilnadu Electricity Board' and the Minister for electricity take heed and resolve it?

sir,

Dear Sir

Ref: HIGH VOLTAGE FLUCTUATION / DROP
At SPJ NAGAR (OFF STATION ROAD)
AYYAMPET 614 201

It is hereby brought to your attention that the voltage flow in the location mentioned above has been extremely fluctuating / dropping down to 140 Volt very frequently quite for a few months probably due to
1. Load of consumption exceeding beyond limit due to use of heavy machinery under the transformer section by any consumer / industrial operation
2. Faulty existing transformer under operation

Apart from drop in brightness of lights,
1. Valuable household appliances like Washing machine, kitchen machines, Air conditioners go unusable beside posing the threat of falling in disrepair
2. Television entertainment of households are affected
3. Any equipment running on electricity is facing the threat of being damaged due to low electricity

Your immediate investigation is hereby sought for an early restoration.

Thank you

This was about morethan 4 years nobody has taken corrective action and Web site i want to make complaint its also not accepting the same. Pease dot he needful.

Dear Sir,

I am residing at 15, Jayammal street, Aminjikarai, Chennai-600029. Last month our neighbour Mr. K.G. Vasudevan had our common electricity area meter changed and collected from each occupant Rs.200/- each x 8 = Rs.1600/- citing payment made to TNEB personnel for the change of this Meter.

I wish to know if indeed we need to pay for replacement of meters and if Mr. K.G. Vasudevan was right in collecting from all eight members residing at above address?

I also wish to state this new meter is faulty and stuck at 16 units and understand from Mr. K.G. Vasudevan, residing in Flat A, that he had contacted TNEB and they are awaiting stock of new meters upon which they will replace. This is now a month old and our common area meter is yet to be replaced.

Kindly do the needful.

Till 15 th no one came for EB office to take reading.I went EB office and spent three hours to update EB reading and confimred from EB official i can pay bill through online. When i checked thorugh online it says meter reading is not updated. When i called EB office they said i have to come personly to pay the bill..

India's No.1 corrupted department is the TNEB. From top to bottom each and every one is demanding bribe.Very bad and very shame.
Note : for name transfer they are asking Rs.2500 for a single connection.
