So far, so good. The Hindu is working on building a stronger response system and taking steps to address most of the complaints. While there's room for growth, their efforts show a positive trend in customer support. We hope The Hindu will keep up the work and continue to help more customers with their concerns even better 🤝

It is happening quite often. To make any complaint, the online website of hindu or the helpline number are not available. When i contacted the local agent, he has been arrogant. I want my subscription back and i don't want to subscribe to the paper any more....
