Tamil Nadu Electricity Board, 9th Floor, N.P.K. R.R.Maaligai, Electricity Avenue, ANNA SALAI, CHENNAI - 600 002, 600002

It is heartfelt to write that I am staying in my newly built own house at Kilpauk area and the house has concrete flooring that is neatly laid in front of the house. Before relishing the happiness of our own house, the TNEB people who came for laying some new electrical cables started to break the concrete flooring in front of my house without any prior intimation.
Even though we had requested to start digging beyond where the concrete floor ends, they refused and destroyed the flooring and laid the new wiring from the junction box fixed to the right side of my house running through the front face of the house. In this regard, photograph of the people in the scene of this unlawful/pitiable action is enclosed for favour of information and further necessary action.
Moreover, the digging was done too close to the gates and walls of the house which is clearly visible from the photographs. This has affected the strength and stability of the structure to a great extent. We’re currently noticing fire sparks in the junction box & smoke evicting from the wires. This is a clear case of lackadaisical attitude wherein they failed to apply their mind just to facilitate smooth completion of their own job though flawed, compromising on the safety of the building. For safety purposes, this junction box shall be migrated from here to a suitable location as well.
It is sorry to say that even after repeated requests to the people and asked for the identity, they refused and started to use vulgar and unparliamentarily words to abuse us. It is heartfelt to see that this incident is condemnable and will also bring down the goodwill of TNEB at this area.
It is therefore requested that necessary action may be taken against the alleged staff who were indulged in this issue and necessary repairs may be made or compensation shall be given. I’d also state that in case the reply is delayed or unfavourable, I’ll be compelled to approach the court for further legal action against the staff with TNEB branch so as to get a compensation. Also if the reply is delayed beyond 20 days, it is presumed that your reply is not favour to me and necessary further action will be taken by me against your branch and the staff concerned.
