[Resolved]  DNA Bangalore — Subscribed news paper not delivered

Hi,
I along with many friends in my company (Valtech India) had subscribed for the DNA Bangalore edition on 2nd September when they had opened a stall in our office premises. We were promised that DNA B'lore edition will be launched on October 15th 2008 and also we were assured that we will start getting the news paper from 15th October 2008 and till date there is no news from DNA. None of their contact options seem to be working. The contact number given by them is always busy. I managed to get 2 mobile numbers ([protected]/[protected]) of their Area Manager Tontudraya (not sure if i spelled correctly), but it is always switched off. The emails sent are also bouncing back.
Later I found that they have plans to launch the news paper some time during the last week of December. If that is the case why DNA is not informing us either individually or publish an advertisement in other popular news papers!? After taking the money well in advance, this is sheer cheating.

Hi Everybody,
While we have been working on putting together the finest newspaper in the city that understands the pulse of the reader and reaching it at your doorstep at the crack of dawn, some of our friends in the business, the self-claimed leaders of the readers, are obviously not pleased with the heartfelt reception that Bangalore has given us.

The competition’s dirty tricks department is working overtime in creating impediments between you and your favorite newspaper, instigating vendors and thwarting supply chains. And it’s not the challenges in our face that worry us, but the regret of not reaching the doorstep of some of the few select subscribers like you.

Never mind the efforts of our friends, we are gradually ironing out all the creases, holding meetings with each of the 2500-odd vendors of every locality in Bangalore, sorting out the issues with them and it’s just a matter of few days before you get your crisp copy of DNA, on time and everyday.

Please bear with us and we promise you, it will be worth the wait.

You can contact us on[protected] or 65738888...or mail us on rmd.[protected]@dnaindia.net
Hi,

to help all of you enjoy getting the DNA please do follow these simple steps.

1. Fill the vendor coupon found in your coupon booklet in the beginning

2. contact any of the the paper boys who visit your street every morning between 6 & 8 am and get his paper agencies or managers contact number.

3. please call teh person and ensure he collects the Vendor coupon from you at which time you take his mobile conatct details and paper agency name and tel no.

4. ensure that the paper delivery begins the next day by calling the paper agency and checking if the paper is going to be delivered, the following day onwards,

Hope this information is useful to most of all.
Dear Sir,
I already paid amount for one year subscription but my address has changed now. I want to know when i ll get the news paper on my new address. I already consulted to the respected person of my location so many times till now as well as i sent my new address through the message as he said to me. Whenever i call him they say like very next day u will get your news paper without fail. My DNA booklet no is 023852.
I hope this time i will get my solution.

DNA's, CEO, K.U. Rao was in town yesterday. Rumours are that people are being sacked from DNA Bombay as well as Bangalore. Inside sources say, that this Rao doesn't have any experience in Newspaper and all his life sold Lubricants.

What else can you expect from a person who sells condom lubricants. K.U. Rao himself says, Managing Director Sudhir Agarwal doesn't have a vision. He thinks Karnataka is another Bhopal, and wants to recruit "Bhaiyya's" from his state like the old Bal Thackeray recruiting Maharashtrians.

Since 2005 DNA Bombay has been struggling to hold it's strings together. Having a CEO who is known as a BIG mouthed guy in the newspaper industry, leaks out information to competitors. The man with no VISION, can not bring DNA to the TOP.

He was the Global Head of Sales & Business Development for the car care business of Shell Lubricants, London prior to his joining DNA.
Subscribed news paper not delivered regularly. It was a biggest mistake to take DNA news paper. Because you will not get the newspaper daily. You will subscribe newspaper not because its cheap, you want newspaper to know whats happening daily around the world. After seeing newspaper advertisement all over bangalore we thought it will be good newspaper. But there is no one to contact even if you do not receive newspaper. If you try to contact their call centre to register complain, you will never get the opportunity to talk to them. So finally I called up Mr. John to tell my problem, his suggested me to contact newspaper vendor for this issue. - which I already did before calling him.
The newspaper is not getting delivered regularly and it is a pain.
In a week atleast 1-2 days the paper is not delivered!
Hello i'm HEma here i would like to have your DNA new paper fax number we would like to sent some letter for event organizing to pubilsh on your news paper
DNA IS in reality making customers fool. I called the customer care many times but they are not giving any response.
They are cheat and they should be put behind bars!!!

DNA IS A CHEATER!!!

i had subscribed for yearly subscription of dna bangalore, the associated person took money from me but i never got the newspaper . my contact no is [protected]
Though there was a delay in the launching, we started receiving the news paper from the month of January. After receiving it for a month, our newspaper boy stopped delivering it saying that he will no more deliver DNA as there are some differences in their terms. So we had to go for some other one. And what ever we had paid for one year subscription has gone waste. Tried reaciong DNA people but of no use.
I have never recieved the DNA paper. All my freinds who subscribed with me are getting it. i did call several times. most of the time line is busy, switched off or out of coverage. when i do get connected they tell me theyll call back as they technical issues going on. Till now i have waited i want to wait no more. please deliver the paper or i really mean to seriously complain in consumer forum . my number [protected].
