Tamil Nadu Electricity Board [TNEB] — unannounced power cut at night and low voltage problem

Address:	600088

Sir, this is the third complaint i am registering within the past 1 month. I live in nilamangai nagar, adambakkam. Every summer in this area and areas adjacent to this are suffering from extreme low voltage as well as unannounced powercut at nights. On 05/05/18 there was powercut due to maintenance. It was supposed to be from 9am to 4 pm. But power was restored only at 5 pm. Again on 06/05/18 today, the power was cut from 9 pm to 9.30 pm. This unannounced powercut happens just one day after maintenance. Nobody knows what maintenance work is being undertaken. Voltage also is very low. They cite increased use of a/c during summer but the fact is in this low voltage a/c s do not work even with double booster. Nobody cares about increasing number of flats in this area. We have been asking for separate transformer for years but of no avail. Frequent powercut especially at nights that too phonecalls to eb office is always unattended as they keep the receiver off as soon as they cut the power. We want permanent solution to this matter and action against people responsible for answering calls. Will higher authorities take action?
