Hi,

I (Sujan s ghosh # [protected]) paid an amount of 599/ - using check # 63104 on 16 nov 2016.

[protected] cheque 63104 the hindu 599.

I called the local agent, he saying annual subscription expired but i saw in his diary the date mentioned is 16th nov 2016, so till nov 2017 we are eligible for newspaper. The local newspaper agent number is [protected].

Please get in touch with him and resolve the issue asap.

    Respected sir/mam,
    We have received information about this apj abdul kalam welfare society - all india mathematics bright student award test thro' school.

    So my daughter participated on july 2nd 2017 in hyderabad, and announced as winner (80% mark).

    But we haven't received the scholarship, they told to send account details which was sent to them.

    After that when i reached thro' the contact number provided by the website - their response is not good, i sent messages and mails to them - no response for that.

    Looks like many kids are cheated by this welfare organization.. Each kid who participated for the exam paid 200/- for the exam. I strongly object this as it's affecting kids and when the kids where is the scholarship money which they promised, i am not able to say answer for them..

    It's too young to cheat them. Pls do the needful, at least we have to create awareness, so that others will not get cheated.

    Despite repeat requests to the newspaper agent, does not deliver hindu newspaper at home. I have been continuoisly following up for a week. He gives random excuses. This could be a reason why the sale of hindu doesnot pick up in these areas.

      Dear sir
      Our family is subscribing “the hindu” news paper for more than 75 years. Now for the past 3 weeks we don’t get the news paper at home. I have been getting in touch with your local agents mr ummer at tirurkad and mr najimuddin mankada) and simultaneously with your ciriculation managers mr balamurali (Kochi) and mr deepu (Calicut) for a solution. There seems to be some communication gap and ego problem between the local agents and your officers regarding billing of the extra copies. I wonder why should the subscriber suffer for that. Kindly do the needfull to necessray action to reinstate the news paper distribution.
      Thanking you
      Yours truly

          I have subscribed the hindu for one year on 10th august. My transaction was successful and at that time i was able to see the epaper. But when i logged in again it is showing me my previous status that is 'renew subscription'. I have called customer care they told me to mail them. I sent mail with necessary transaction details but till now there is no response from their side. Now they are not even picking up the call.
          Try to resolve this issue asap.

                This complaint is with regard to the news that was published on your website on September 05 2015 regarding the ban of Nirapara Food products. This particular ban was revoked by High Court on October 14th, 2015, in the absence of any finding on the unsafe nature of the product. The same news was published on your online newspaper portal as well. But in spite of the ban revocation by the High Court and though the news was published at a later date, the negative news is appearing on the first page of Google results. This is affecting the reputation of the brand severely. This particular brand has several loyal customers and is trusted by the people but the negative news about the product online will only create more panic.
                While researching on reputation management online, we came across an article which said that while uploading a particular news certain tags are used and the same tags are used when there is any update or correction regarding that particular news. Would you kindly check if the same tags were used while uploading this news articles? We also hope you would be kind enough to co operate with us and help us remove the negative news result from Hindu appearing on Google.
                Your support on this matter would be highly appreciated.

                    I am a resident of tansi nagar 1st street, velachery, chennai. We have a school at the end of the road, kids walk through the street to reach the school. There is no garbage dumping bin for this street which has 100s of families residing.

                    Kids had to stamp on the junk (House hold waste, construction debris, tree waste etc) thrown on the road to reach the school. If there is even a bit of rain, the scenario goes worse, garbage floating in to the nearby appartments/houses.

                    I would request chennai corporation to take the required action to place a garbage bin in the right location for the residents to dispose their daily waste. Also, please do instruct the corporation clearance employees to clear the accumlation on a daily basis. Please do not expect the residents to junk their garbage waste in lic colony main road bin or taramani road bin, since, it is already overflowing.

                    The current situation is posing a serious health hazard to the kids and senior citizens residing in the area and kids commuting to the school.

                    Thanks in advance for the immediate action.

                        I have enrolled for annual subscription but i dont receive my paper for 2-3 days a week.

                        1. Original commitment given to me was to deliver by 6:30, but i get only around 8 am - by when i already left to office.
                        2. I tried many times escalating to loca agent
                        3. No improvement or action taken
                        4. It became worse that no papers delivered for 2-3 days for continuos month now.

                        I am frustrated and would like to stop paper. Request to process my annual subscription refund immediately. If this is not right contact or forum, route me to right person/forum for escalation.

                          Sir,
                          With reference to the above, i was alloted this reference number based on the onlne payment of
                          Rs 899/- on 8th may 2017.
                          As is seen from my address i stay at venkatapuram,. Alwal
                          It appears from my paper boy as well as the paper distributor, my paper is being given to the
                          Bowenpally area, it is requested that this be corrected immediately as it has become my (Almost) daily routine to call[protected]. The person on this number listens to me patiently and allots me a complaint number.. The latest being a041941.
                          It is requested that some coordination is organised from your end is carried out and the matter is
                          Resolved between you, your office, your distributor and the paper boy.
                          It will certainly look deplorable that a reputed paper (I have been reading for the last 45 years) cant resolve a matter of distribution.
                          A feed back stating that the matter is resolved may kindly be sent to me (Apart from the machine

                                  Registered mobile No[protected]. Seshadri K M no 29 Sarojini street Arakkonam 631001. Paid Rs.1200 on 23rd June. Hindu English daily not received from day one till today. Made telephonic complaint with your customer care. Escalated by me to Mr Janajiraman circulator.In fact when I had contacted Mr Janajiraman on 1st July itself said he is not incharge of Arakkonam. On the contrary yesterday he said he will look into the complaint. Shocked & surprised. Had he taken my complaint on 1st July itself the issue might have been resolved by this time. Very simple thing money paid for one year paper not received The Hindu English.
                                  The Agent Ramalakshmi at Arrakkonam says will not deliver the newspaper unless extra money paid . Further states they are not bothered even if it is reported to you.
                                  These information are furnished to your customer care and as well as to Mr.Janakiraman.
                                  Request you to deliver the news paper from tomorrow without fail for the one year subscription paid by me on 23rd June.
