The Hindu Complaints & Reviews

It has been five days and we have not received the newspaper. I have paid for in advance and this is non delivery is very unfortunate and not a responsible behaviour. Kindly arrange for the delivery of the newspaper at the earliest. I have already registered a complaint online two days back and this is my second complaint. I hope action is taken against the agent responsible.

Hello
I am not able to subscribe for the hindu in school online. I find the site www.thehindu.com/theweekend has a 404 error. When i call up on[protected] despite selecting 0 for the operator i keep getting the same message.

Unfortunately the local newspaper distributor in saharanpur who supplies the hindu is not aware of this paper.

Is sending a cheque the only way out?

I am saravanan hailing from surandai, tirunelveli district. I work as a branch manager in private sector. I am reading your newspaper for the past 25 years. For the past 2 months i am receiving your newspaper either 10 am or the next day. The agent supplying us says that the newspaper comes from tirunelveli and first it goes to tenkasi, a nearby district and then only it reaches surandai. Kindly look into the issue.

I subscribed for the hindu news paper from 16.5.19 to 15.5.20 by paying the subscription on line. Which has been confirmed under id[protected].

Subscription should be canceled.

I have taken a subscription for frontline magazine, hindu group. Never received the copy on time. I always have to call them and chase them to deliver my copy at my address and they always say that ma’am we have sent from our end these post office people are too slow. I have never got feb and march, 2019 frontline subscription they delivered me may one. How ridiculous is this i don’t understand. Some action needs to be taken at the earliest....

I have paid annual subscription for the hindu tamil newspaper on 8th april 2019 (Order id : ord_15326) and subscription was to begin from 16th april 2019. Its going to be 2 weeks now and i haven't received any copy yet. I am sick of making repeated calls and follow ups but no appropriate action has been taken. Never expected such a worst service from the hindu.

I subscribed to the hindu and young world physical subscriptions a while ago. It was promised that the subscription would start from 16th april onwards. But despite of complaints made to customer support team 3 times this week, the paper isn't being delivered and the team is just issuing the ticket number no work backend. My number is [protected], please resolve this quickly...

I have paid annual subscription for the hindu's young world on 28th march 2019 and subscription was to begin from 12 april 2019. Its going to be 2 weeks now and i haven't received any copy yet.

Our family votes of 4 members including myself have been deleted from the voters list and we could not vote today inspite of running around since the past 2 weeks to the Election Office bearers including meeting the top officials like the District Election Officer in Rippon Buildings, The Electoral Registration Officer in Zone 13 at Adyar, The Deputy Tahsildar at Adyar etc.Representations were given in writing and complaints were registered on 1950 Helpline and the National Grievances Services of the ECI.ALL TO NO AVAIL.Nobody was co operative and no proper proper answers were given for the reason of deletion of names.We live on Ranjith Road, Kotturpuram, Chennai 85 in OUR OWN HOUSE since the past 20 years and till date our names with photo ID were appearing in the rolls.This year has been different for reasons unknown.I found out that the all our names were deleted excepting my son who had got his voter card last year when I went to the Zonal office to check last month.The answers given were evasive and immediately I submitted Form 6 applications for all o[censored]s with photos and verification was also completed by the Booth Local Officer of our area.I was assured that our names will be added, but were not done.I demanded that we vote today, were refused with the statement that since our names were not appearing in the list, we cannot vote.WHO DELETED ARE NAMES IS WHAT MY QUESTION IS ? And for what reason ? Very baffling, sometimes I wonder if the names were wantedly deleted since we were from the minority community ????

Complained many times for not receiving daily news paper for the subscription payment made in nov18 through online.

Telecaller not bothered to revert or get the issue resolved.

I need my money to be refunded by your company as I have opted local news paper through agency.

Act immediately to refund my amount or need to escalate to next level. If required to complaint consumer forum.

Sir, i have been a reader of the hindu since january 2019 getting my copy through the local newspaper vendor (T. Paper suppliers, 9/1/h/3, canal east road, kolkata – 700 067). Last payment made date is 13 march 2019 by cash for this month, i received a newspaper some days without any issue. From january 2019, around 25-26 days paper not delivered. There is a large number of absent. Which impact very heavy on my cse preparation. But i kept quiet. Again for this month, i have not received around 14 days paper in this month. However, till date i have not received the newspaper. But till today the problem has not been solved. Could you please deduct the amount the papers delivered and return my money amount back? If not possible, send some good kolkata magazine in lieu of the balance amount. I am sorry to say that i am totally disappointed from your way of service, which i never expected being reputed concern like hindu.

I have made my payment every month in scheduled basis but the agent had never give me the newspaper on daily wise and on scheduled wise because i am a job holder.. It is very important for me to get the newspaper on time but i am not getting it properly on daily wise also. And the local agent does not pick up my phone. And because of irregularity in newspaper it empacts very much in my cse preparation. I have got so irritated with it.

I just wanted to know why my today's issue i, e, 7th april 2019 has not been delivered to me? I have paid my annual subscription. As per below.
In such situation we're helpless since the local agent doesn't answer our calls. We stand to loose since payment already made.

I have paid amount in online for 6 months subscriptions to the hindu for "the hindu in school" weekly magazine which was supposed to start 10-feb & ends on 4-aug with sub id: [protected]. I have sent multiple mails, multiple calls to customer care, still not received any copies, even i asked to refund my amount, they are not doing that. Finally in april they sent 3 copies at once (10-feb, 17-feb & 10 mar). Don't know the logic behind this? They looks like customer may be collecting old papers.

First complaint raised on 16-feb mail & phone: reference no. A337999 & reference no. A338002, same followed up on 21-feb.
One more mails sent on 22-feb, highlighting to refund: reference no. A340325
Third followup on 26-feb w. R. T reference no. A337999
Middle i had made calls as well on[protected].
Again on 22-mar highlighted as no progress in my complaints, following again on 24-mar: sr 2827

Last two months i am not getting my daily paper, my subscription is in current
after so many reminder still it is not solve by company. I had check with the office they refer mr.kannan a team leader to resolve the issue. But after so many reminders still i am unable to get the newspaper. and i am purchasing daily basis in near the shop. This is frustrating to me.

It is submitted that mr. Ch arjun rao of the hindu news paper collected cheque for rs. 999/- towards annual subscription of the hindu english news paper receipt no thhym416072 and started paper wef 16 feb 2019. Now since 19 mar 2019, paper is not delivered by the delivery boy. Complaint given to company mr. Vijay krishna. From : guru nanak institutions.

I pay my monthly subscription to the agent here. According to him, he is not able to supply the newspaper regularly because the delivery van driver is not dropping the paper bundles regularly. When i contacted your customercare no.[protected] at 19.10 today the person at the other end is not at all helpful and rude also. Please resolve the problem and the whole pithapuram town hindu readers will appreciate your efforts.
