The Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco) has suspended an assistant engineer and a junior engineer based on a review meeting conducted by Electricity Minister V. Senthilbalaji. The review meeting was conducted at Kalaivanar Arangam on Friday.
A senior official of Tangedco said M. Shanmugam, working as a junior engineer in New Washermenpet office of Chennai North, and V. Mageshwari, working as an assistant engineer in Thoraipakkam, have been suspended based on the feedback received from senior officials for their performance in not bringing down the complaints registered through the Minnagam Call Centre.
The suspension of the two engineers has created anger among the electricity staff of the Operation and Management Department. The engineers, through the office-bearers of various engineers’ unions, met the Chairman and Managing Director Rajesh Lakhoni on Monday evening with a list of demands.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
