[Resolved]  Times Of India — Compulsion on 'Mirror' with 'Times of India'

Address:

Pune, Maharashtra

Hello, As you know newspapers in India are the lifelines for metro cities. So, I am one of regular readers for Times of India newspaper since years. Recently I have been located to Pimple Saudagar, Pune - Maharashtra, where the local newspaper distributors are forcing to purchase "Mirror" along with "Times of India". Together cost for which goes double for a daily need. When asked to distributor, they are responding that its being made compulsory by "Times of India". I wish "Times of India" to confirm, if this is being made by them as its being observed only on couple of areas in Pune (not all). If no directions from publisher, some strict actions to be taken by distributors as it’s a fraud against brands. My distributor name: Sai Enterprises, Pravin Mane, Pimple Saudagar, Pune, Maharashtra 411027, India. The cumulative cost for this force sell goes beyond lacks per month which is very high amount and by investigating, some strict actions to be taken on priority. Awaiting your response as logging this complaint being a responsible citizen. Regards, Hemant.
