Sub: Frequent breakdowns in the supply of electricity in Nehru Nagar
Sir:
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I want to highlight the frequent breakdowns of electricity in Nehru Nagar. I hope this letter will awaken the concerned authorities from their slumber. Prompt remedial steps must be taken to set the things right.
The residents of Nehru Nagar have to undergo untold sufferings due to frequent breakdowns of electricity. In summer the mercury shoots up to 46 degree Celsius. The helpless residents spend sleepless nights. There have been many thefts in the area. The low voltage has been a regular problem.
The worst sufferers are the students. They have to study in candle light at night during their examination days. In Bose Colony, there is been no power supply for the last two days. The pre-vacation exams are going on in all the schools. The erratic and irregular supply of power speaks volumes of the inefficient working of the Tamil Nadu State Electricity Board (TSEB). A delegation of the residents met the Minister in this regard. He assured them of a regular supply of electricity in the area. We hope they will make provisions for the regular and uninterrupted power supply to residents of Nehru Nagar in future, especially during examination days.
Yours truly,
Pranavi
