Tamil Nadu Electricity Board [TNEB] — request for restoration of electric supply, replacing cyclone damaged electric post, restoration of street lights electric line

Address:

Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu

Dear sirs,

The concrete electric post at south street, karankadu, paraseri distribution unit, thuckalay e b sub division, kanyakumari district, with numbers 28/5/2, 10/74/, 8m/civil/tky/tneb/190/310398, 03/99/04/4, f ii/61, was badly damaged during the ockhi cyclone on 30.11.2017. The concrete electric post was broken on top, having cracks over the body, some parts withered and is waving. Four houses are at present getting electric connection through the post. The post is lying on a public path way and near a public water distribution outlet. The place where the post stands is surrounded by households also.

On 08.12.2017 some staff came and told they are going to replace the damaged electric concrete post with new one. However after some time they left without doing any work. On 09.12.2017, again some staff came but did not attend this work. When asked, two e b officials, executive engineer and an ad who were on the spot told that the particular electric post is in their list to be replaced, new electric post is also brought near the location, however they are not changing the post now, because they are under pressure to give electric connection to day (09.12.2017) itself and they do not have sufficient time for replacing the electric post and also that the concrete electric post is situated in a narrow lane. They further told that the particular electric post will not fall for about another three months and will be replaced by local t n e b staff. Other damaged post on the line was replaced and the fallen electric wires were fixed by them.

However the street light line was dismantled up to post number 10/75 and was not fixed on the posts.

We are without electricity from 29.11.2017 night to till now 10.12.2017 10.55 p m.

Please arrange to replace the damaged concrete electric post referred to above with a new electric post to prevent any loss or mishappenings; please restore the street light connections and please give electricity to our houses.

Yours faithfully
