The Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Limited (TNPDCL) will hold consumer grievance meetings across four Chennai divisions on 1 September, giving residents a direct channel to raise electricity-related complaints before senior officials. All sessions are scheduled to begin at 11 am.
Venues and Divisions
In the Mylapore division, the meeting will be held at the office of the Executive Engineer, Operation and Maintenance, located at the 110 kV Valluvar Kottam substation on MGR Road (Kodambakkam High Road), near the Metro Water station.
The Ambattur division meeting will take place at the Executive Engineer's office on Third Main Road, inside the substation premises at Ambattur Industrial Estate.
Consumers in the Tondiarpet division can attend the session at the Executive Engineer's office at No. 805, Tiruvottiyur High Road, situated opposite the clock tower.
The KK Nagar division meeting will be conducted at the divisional office of the Executive Engineer on the second floor of the 110 kV KK Nagar substation premises on Anna Main Road.
What Consumers Can Raise
Residents may submit complaints relating to power supply disruptions, billing issues, and other electricity services directly to TNPDCL officials at the respective sessions. Grievances received will be taken up for appropriate follow-up action, officials confirmed.
Appeal from Senior Officials
Superintending Engineers of TNPDCL's Chennai Central, Chennai West, Chennai South, and Chennai North distribution circles have urged consumers with pending or unresolved complaints to attend the meeting corresponding to their division and present their issues in detail.
Part of TNPDCL's Outreach Mechanism
The grievance meetings form part of the corporation's structured consumer redressal framework, designed to ensure that service-related issues receive direct attention from competent authorities. Consumers have been advised to visit only the venue designated for their distribution division at the scheduled time. With electricity demand in Chennai continuing to strain urban infrastructure, such direct-access forums are increasingly significant for residents seeking timely resolution.
Point of View
And one-day open-house sessions, while welcome, are not a substitute for a transparent, time-bound redressal system. The real measure of this initiative will be whether complaints raised on 1 September are resolved within a defined window and reported back to consumers — or whether they disappear into the same backlog that prompted the meetings in the first place.
