Many people made similar complaints along with Prasanna. As his tweet got blew up, TNEB made a reply to the “Mafia” actor. “Prasanna hasn’t paid the bill amount of Rs. 13, 526 which is meant for March month. His accusation is highly condemnable. Current bill is being updated only two months once. It is being measured by parting the four month electricity consumption into two. Due to Coronavirus lockdown, we couldn’t measure the electricity consumption in Prasanna’s house” said TNEB.

During the complete lockdown, members of Tamilnadu electricity board didn’t go to the houses of residents to note the reading. Instead they asked people to pay the bill amount of previous month. Now, after few relaxations, people are stating that authorities are forcing them to pay excess amount though they paid the bill for last month. Complaint regarding the same is being raised by several number of people. On the contrary, few stated that the bill amount is high due to the large consumption of electricity as people are spending most of their time in their houses for past two months.
