Tamil Nadu Electricity Board [TNEB] — complaint on unauthorized eb connection (commercial) & unprotected eb wire in the open space

Address:

Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 600041

Dear sirs'

We are writing to you from h2, gateway apartments, 1st avenue road, thiruvanmiyur, chennai - 600041. We includes the flat secretary mr. Nd raja, treasurer - mr. Nadhakumar, president - mr. S murugan on behalf of the 18 houses situated inside the h2 flat premises (Gateway apartments). Our eb lines are managed by the kottivakkam section office.

We would like to bring to your kind attention that the chennai corporation has recently removed the unauthorized encroached shops which were constructed on the sideways of the 1'st avenue road platform.

An aavin milk vendor shop was one among them. He has encroached some amount of space on the platform, where he has been keeping his vapor-compression refrigeration machine (2 nos) and other electrical appliances for so many years. At the first instance, we are surprised to know how he would have obtained a government electricity supply line for these machines to operate, at his platform shop. However, this shop has been demolished by the appropriate department on 05.03.2018. Consequently, the eb supply line has also been terminated by your staff.

However, on 08.03.2018, to the flat residents dismay, the milk vendor returned to set shop, this time even more harrowing, that he tried to set shop inside the housing board flat premises. We are shocked to see how he was able to obtain a eb supply line again to operate his refrigeration machines. At that instance, we have now come to know the milk vendor's motive that he is consistently trying to set a shop on the platform or somewhere else nearer to his previous encroachment.

Subsequently, the flat association has made a request to remove the shop from there. After much confrontation, he complied and removed his shop from there. At this juncture, we are not sure whether the eb line provided for this shop has been completely terminated or not. Hence, we request the tneb office to oversee that this unauthorized eb connection to be rightly closed.

We are also afraid that there could be some open electricity passing wires on the places (On the platform & also inside the flat premises) where he was trying to set his shop. We request tneb office to ensure that no unwanted open electric wires inside and also out of the flat premises (On the platform), since these platform are now used by children and other passerby.

In addition to this, there was a lamp post, just in front of our flat premises. Unfortunately, this lamp post is not glowing for a long time. We request the appropriate authorities to oversee this issue and address the same.

We humbly request the good tneb office and appropriate authorities to do the needful. Thanks.

Yours truly
