Tamil Nadu Electricity Board [TNEB] — Regular power cuts in Alwarpet, Coonoor

Address:

Cornwall Road, Alwarpet, Coonoor

Some o[censored]s work from home due to Covid and we also work in shifts so that we can co-ordinate with our US clients. However, from the past 6 days every night there has been a complete power shut down and comes back only in the morning by 6.30 or 7.00 pm.

While we truly understand that this shut down may have been warranted due to the climatic conditions, but the problem here to understand is that not the whole night does the climate go wrong every single time. As of yesterday its 7th night we have no power from around 11.30 pm to 6.30 or 7 am. We are living in an advanced world and the competitions are high, the customer service expectations are very high at our work. Once or twice we can get back to client and tell them about power cuts due to bad weather, but not regularly.

I humbly request our Superintendent to please understand our issues and to direct the respective authorities not to turn off power every night.

After all we are people who are in middle class and have families. If we loose our jobs, despite being well educated we do not have many options other than having to go to plains. And neither can we afford 30 to 40K to invest on a battery and invertor.

I am sure that the learned officer would definately understand our grevience and help us accordingly.

Thanks for your services as always.

Regards,

Consumer who promptly pays his bils every single time.
