[Resolved]  Tamilnadu Electricity Board (TNEB) — NEAR MISS ACCIDENT-DUE TO EXPOSED ELECTRIC (POWER) CABLE

Address:

Chennai, Tamil Nadu

NEAR MISS ACCIDENT-DUE TO EXPOSED ELECTRIC (POWER) CABLE On 11.09.2014 at 10.00 am we saw smoke from exposed power cables laid by TNEB in front of our house near our gate. It was frightening and we had to immediately caution the public and children nearby and also remove our car parked by the side of it. After some time it stopped. However this might happen again. We request the concerned authorities to immediately take action and lay the cable properly so that it is well below the ground. Any time the exposed cable can again burn and it can cause big fire and also if it rains it can electrocute and be fatal. This was reported to the authorities on previous occasions while they attended other faults in our street about the exposed nature of the cables but so far no action has been taken. Once we request the authorities to take it up this issue seriously and take action before any accident happens which can be definitely fatal. We are also attaching a picture of the exposed cable for your reference. STANLEY STEPHEN SP. 30 I SECTOR III STREET K.K.NAGAR CHENNAI 600 078 CONSUMER NO: [protected]
