Tamil Nadu to outsource meter reading from October amid assessor shortage
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 26 (IANS) The Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation (TNPDCL) will begin hiring contract workers to read electricity meters from October, seeking to address a severe shortage of assessors and reduce complaints of incorrect or inflated bills. The utility has around 3.5 crore low-tension service connections across the state, including 2.5 crore domestic consumers. Meter readings are taken every two months to calculate consumption and generate bills. Against a sanctioned strength of 7,565 assessors, only 3,063 are currently available. The remaining 4,502 posts, nearly 60 per cent of the total, are vacant. TNPDCL has so far used retired Tamil Nadu Electricity Board personnel to help with doorstep assessments. It has decided to bring in additional workers through contractors to keep readings on schedule and improve their accuracy. Under a circular sent to field engineers, executive engineers may invite limited tenders for the required manpower for six-month periods. The proposals will be vetted by the superintending engineers concerned. Contract workers must have completed a degree or diploma course. The daily target for each contract meter reader will be at least 250 service connections within the Greater Chennai Corporation area and 220 in other municipal corporation areas. Readings must be captured through a mobile application using an optical probe or Bluetooth transmitter. The circular instructs contractors to take the actual reading at the consumer’s premises, select the correct service connection in the application and complete the assessment within the prescribed billing cycle. These steps are intended to prevent readings from being entered against the wrong account or delayed beyond the billing period. The move follows complaints about irregular assessments and bills that consumers say do not reflect their actual usage. A missed or inaccurate reading can also create confusion when consumption is adjusted in a subsequent billing cycle. Retired staff currently engaged for an honorarium of Rs 5 per assessment may be relieved if their work is found unsatisfactory. TNPDCL will also review the workload assigned to its regular assessors as it introduces the contract arrangement. The new system places responsibility on contractors to supply qualified readers and complete assessments on time. Field engineers will oversee the arrangement during the six-month contracts, while the corporation evaluates how the additional manpower affects the billing process across the state.

Pinay chessers' Top 10 bid takes a hit after loss to Israel
The Philippines’ bid to crack the Top 10 was nipped in the bud after the women’s team suffered a 1-3 defeat to the 22nd-seeded Israel in the ninth round on Friday, Sept. 25, in 46th World Chess Olympiad at the Silk Road International Exhibition Centre in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Woman Grandmaster Janelle Mae Frayna and Woman International Master Ruelle Canino were the only survivors after splitting the point with WIM Noga Orian and IM Masha Klinova on boards two and three, respectively. Mhage Sebastian yielded to IM Marsel Efroimski on the top board while WIM Jan Jodilyn Fronda-Grafil was first to fall to WGM Viktoria Chernyak on board four that hastened the Filipinas’ downfall. The defeat sent the Nationals into a 17-nation logjam at 39th place with 11 match points apiece. With two rounds remaining, the Filipinas are in desperate need to win their last two matches -- including this one against Costa Rica in the 10th and penultimate round at press time -- for a chance at replicating, if not surpassing, their Category B gold medal in the last edition in Budapest, Hungary two years ago. Meanwhile, the men’s squad also suffered a 1.5-2.5 defeat at the hands of an all-GM, Magnus Carlsen-less Norway. The Filipinos seized an early 1.5-0.5 lead following wins by IM Michael Concio, Jr. over Johan-Sebastian Christansen on board one and a draw by IM Jem Garcia with Aksel Bu Kvaloy, but IM Pau Bersamina and GM Daniel Quizon both ended up losing to Elam Amar and Frode Olabv Olsen Urkedal on boards two and three, respectively. They fell into a big group at 59th spot with 10 match points each.

Amy Lee wrote in the caption: “20 years of The Open Door! That time was so important for me. Of all the things I had to prove, the biggest thing for me was that I really was up for the fight- for love, for myself, and most of all the music.” “It wasn’t easy, but it was beautiful, purifying, sometimes reckless, and mostly so much fun.” She added: “This year our heads are pretty consumed with the moment we’re in, but honestly Sanctuary couldn’t exist without The Open Door and the channels it first opened. Thank you for listening, and letting it in, I can’t tell you how much it means to me, 20 years later. Check out the newly remastered vinyl with a few special additions at the link in the @evanescenceofficial bio.” Evanescence is an American rock band founded in 1994 by singer and keyboardist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody in Little Rock, Arkansas.
