      I had subscribed to "the hindu" monthly subscription and after unsubscribing for it, the amount is getting deducted from my credit card. This is happening for the second time. Earlier also, when i was a customer, newspaper delivery was not regular because of which i had to unsubscribe. After unsubscribing the newspaper, you'll get notification that your card is unlinked from auto pay, then too money will be duducted. After multiple calls and continuous mails, they'll finally unlink your card. What is the point of giving option in your account to unlink the card or unsubscribe the newspaper when ultimately, it'll be customer executive who will be unlinking and assuring that further amount won't be deducted.

        Inspite of my repeated calls and complaints no action has been taken and i am not getting hindu paper from 13/8/2019. However he has supplied one day on 17/8/2019. Again stopped supplying.

        I request you to kindly take action for refunding my money as you could not solve the problem even after filing complaints and phone calls.

        I do not want pursue the matter because you are not taking the case seriously.

          In this heading, i didn't understand what h. P means, if it means himachal pradesh then chamoli is in uttarakhand and if it means something else then i want to know. It is of 13 august, 2019 on page no. 05, north segment.

          There are sometimes prominent errors in the hindu.
          Although, i want to make a concern about language written in the hindu, english used is of too high décor, which everyone can't understand as everyone is not scholar.

          Use of world dalit and other words should be taken care of.

            Date: Jul 29 17. The news is "U.P rape survivor injured in an accident". Even though she has survived the Rape, she cant survive the Media. The tag line
            (adjective) can be anything else like "4 people got hit by a truck". But why as Rape survivor"? Please don't kill her again and again, Please.

            The Media should be more careful about the choice of words. I din't expect this from a reputed newspaper like 'The Hindu'.
            Thank you.

                I had paid for annual subscription of the hindu in october 2018. However i have not been receiving the newspaper from 1st july, 2019 and the distributor is refusing to provide the newspaper stating that the subscription has ended. Please look into this and arrange for delivery of the paper till 30th september, 2019.

                          My complaint no sr10529 has been registered for a month now and nearly 2 months i have not got the paper. Customer care has been highly insensitive in addressing my issue and neither will they respond proactively. If you have such an incompetent customer care, why do you even claim as one of the oldest and top most leading paper in india. Inturn it should be termed top misleading customer care.

                                Sir, I have renewed my Hindu newspaper subscription from 01.06.19 to 31.05.20 through online payment. Since 4 days I am not getting the Paper. When contacted our regular paper boy he informed that he has no communication about my subscription renewal. It's disgusting. Please look into it and ensure delivery of Hindu newspaper.

                                    Dear sir, I regret to inform you that while reading today's newspaper (15th June 2019) Madurai edition News section I found a mistake in the News column. The message that Rakesh sharma first indian to land on moon is found to be wrong as He was the first indian to fly in space. Being an IAS aspirant I didn't expect this from standard english newspaper as such wrong information may affect the general knowledge of the students. I sincerely hope that such a mistake will not recur in future. From Sachin Abishek IAS aspirant Chennai.
