The Hindu Complaints & Reviews

Sir,

Yearly Subscriptions will be collected and they will never care for distribution of News paper to customers. If call to customer care there is no response if send mails no reply. Simply they will say our representative will attend soon. What is the use for making subscription and if purchase news paper from news agent we will deduct for not giving papers here it is not possible.

Sir
I had madequate online annual subscription for "The Hindu" under subscription I'd [protected]" during last week of January 2017.
I was advised newspaper delivery would start by 16.02.2017
Till date the newspaper delivery has not started .I had taken up the issue during 3 Rd week of Feb 2017
I was advised that the non delivery was registered under I'd A004438
Even today the paper stands delivered
Pl note .this is very serious matter and would be taken at all levels
Kindly cancel my subscription and refund my amounts immedeately

Dear sir
My subscription for Business line is valid up to 30 April 2017.Since 20 th February the delivery is stopped .My contacting your local office is futile .
I think if you cannot ensure delivery better close this annual subscription,
This not fist time last year also same thing happened, As I could not keep track of my subscription details I have to keep quite.
Can I expect compensatory delivery extension and assurance it will be hence forth delivevered without fail?

Respected sir
This is Dr Sandeep medical officer of CRPF. I have been detailed for election duty U.P & Manipur. We finished 3 phases in U.P & going to Manipur. Actually there is massive movement of forces from UP to Manipur by 20 special trains. Me along with 800 jawans (CRPF, ITBP, &CISF) are travelling in the special train scheduled 6am departure at etawah on 22nd Feb and arrival at Bokajan on 24th Feb 4am which started in ethawa railway station U.P on 22/02/17 at 7am. At present our train with 18 coach carrying 13 coys is at Katihar 2:00pm.
We are facing many problems in this train. According to the MHA order each coy should be given 2 sleeper coaches to accommodate our jawans & our luggage (store, arms, mess, weapons, bedding, dry ration), with only one coach(that to general coach) jawans don't even have place to sleep. Our jawans are sitting in the train since 24hrs & it will take more 72hr to reach our destination. According to MHA we should be given 26 coaches(sleeper) but we were dumped in 18coaches(general) imagine how miserable it is. When coming to food it's 2:00pm now we haven't received our breakfast & 72hrs of our journey is leftover.
We will reach Kishanganj by 6pm if you can send any media person to railway station you can take the video footage of our problems.
Kindly do the needful sir

Sir, I wanted to subscribe a copy of the hindu from today i.e. 18/02/2017 and so conveyed the same to the newspaper delivery boy. He talked to the concerned agency that operates in my place i.e. Hamirpur (Himachal Pradesh) and told me yesterday that the price has risen. I told him to deliver the paper from 18th. However, today he did not deliver the paper and on being asked, told me that the agency has said that the newspaper will be started from 1/03/2017 as they cannot start the newspaper in the middle of the month. I could not understand the complexities involved in not being able to deliver the newspaper in the middle of the month and thought of raising this issue. Kindly solve it.

My name is Bhupalam Ajit and I reside at:
2B.Phase 2., Shem Park, Semmcherry, Chennai 600119. Mob [protected]

The daily paper is being delivered by Mr. Sundar / No.3 Village High Road ( 22nd CrossStreet), Sholinganallur, Chennai600119. Mob. [protected]

Complaint: The agency did not deliver today's paper i.e. issue dated 17th Feb 2017. This issue is the first of the updated /revised version.
In the past also we have had many instances of the paper not being delivered when ever important events have taken place and we are eager to read the news.
Reasons cited for not delivering the paper is 'late arrival /non arrival' of the delivery van from the city.
Kindly investigate and if required please arrange to have another agency / take strict action to ensure regular delivery of the paper

I ordered a special yearly subscription with commencement date from 16 dec 2016 through hindu agent N.Nagarajan (D.C Code24088).My subsription no is [protected]. I have issued a cheque for Rs 1279. On 16 Dec 2016, the delivery boy called me that i need to collect from their shop and they ll not deliver at home. I went to shop and collected the paper from Dec 16 to Dec 22. I called the agent and told the paper is not delivered at home. He told they are supposed to deliver which i communicated to the shop of delivery boy. From Dec 22, 2016 paper is not delivered at home...fed up of calling customer care of the reputed daily THE HINDU.. They say they ll take action within 48 hrs, 72 hrs...nothing resolved till now. The agent who was marketing this special subscription in our college doesn't even care and bother... I am telling them to return the cheque...they are not doing.

If the reputed paper is doing poor service to the customers, really fed up and submitting the complaint. my complaint no is 133655 and registerded in the hindu customer care.
