Public bring damaged goods to the District Collectorate to ask for compensation
Coimbatore: The Kamaraj Nagar area is located behind the Coimbatore Trichy Road, Sungam in Chintamani. More than 500 families live here. A private vehicle that had entered the area last Sunday crashed into a transformer, causing damage to electronics goods. The public brought these electronic goods and brought it to the district collectorate office. Locals said a Tata Ace (TN45AL6384), an Amazon online distribution company vehicle collided head-on with a transformer at around 1pm on the 6th.
The accident cut off power to more than 25 homes and damaged 2.5 lakh worth of electronic devices such as TVs, refrigerators, laptops and fans. They alleged that electricity board authorities refused to take action when they complained and told them to go to the police station and lodge a complaint. They said their complaint was not accepted in the police station too and hence they came to the district collector, urging him to take appropriate action to receive compensation from the company that caused the accident as they refused to accept their complaint.
