CHENNAI: Acting on TNIE report, the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board on Saturday issued memos to linemen who demanded bribe from residents for repair works. Residents from Ayyappanthangal had complained that the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) works in their area were not being carried out scientifically.
They said the workmen had been carelessly digging pits to lay water pipelines and were damaging the EB wires in the process. Jal Jeevan Mission is a Central scheme that proposes to offer 55 litres of water per day per household by 2024.
