The Hindu Complaints & Reviews

I have subscribed the hindu school paper in Jan 2018 at Rs900(yearly subscription). This paper has to come on weekly basis, initially one month was came regularly after one month the service has been stopped. I have not received from Feb 2018 (second week) onwards. In this connection, i have contacted Hindu customer care many times, but they took the complaint and not rectified so far. Further, i am requesting to refund the balance amount, but still there is no response from hindu. Also, while contacting the landline number, they given another toll-free number is[protected], this number not at all working.
Kindly Hindu group has to take necessary corrective action.

Our subscription id is [protected], from bangalore. We have consistently faced the problem of not receiving the news paper regularly.in a month 5 to 6 days we don't get the newspaper this is continuing to happen even after making the full. Payment of 1000 for the subscription.
We have complained about this to the newspaper and the vendor still not resolved. Tired of this constant problem hope you will address this issue at the earliest.

Some body called from the hindu and informed to pay a sum of rs.999/- and renew my annual subscription to the hindu. Accordingly i, transferred a sum of rs.999/- on 20 03 2018 towards renewal of annual subscription to the hindu. Received the acknowledgment also.

I was referring through earlier sms - i found that on[protected].25 pm contact no.[protected]. Where in i was informed to pay a sum of rs. 899/- towards renewal of my annual subscription.

I request you to refund the difference of rs.100/-

Thank you

Frequency of not delivering the paper completely has increaded after you started segregating the hindu sunday as 1 & 2, magazine, literature etc... Many a time either part 1 is missing or part 2 is missing... When it is delivered like this i always feel "incomplete" on sunday spoiling the morning... Please educate the distributors to educate the delivery boys to give full paper... Mariappan r

Sir

Through this letter, I want to bring to the attention of the authorities concerned the unsanitary conditions in Pantharapalya Layout Mysore Road since from a long time. The sweepers absent themselves and the streets stink with heaps of garbage. Nor the BBMP garbage collecting vehicle comes on its regular round. We made a complaint to the BBMP authorities followed by the reminder many times but all in vain. With the onset of rainy season, the situation has worsened due to the garbage choking streets. Attaching some of the pictures foe your reference which states the current worsened situation outside the apartment.

This is our humble request to the authorities to please pay attention to the cleanliness of Pantharapalya Layout and ensure regular cleaning. I shall be greatly obliged if you publish my letter in your column so that it reaches the authorities concerned and steps are taken to solve the problem.

Thank you

Such a proudness for this hindu newpaper office boys. It's been 15 days i have said for them to deliver the paper. I am from vijayawada siddhartha medical college... Studying mbbs.. Preparing for upsc exams... And my preparation lags for 15 days because o[censored] people... I have called them for more than 6 times not at all responding... Disgusted fellows

Paid rs.999.00 to the hindu at 8:44 am. Order id: qrdb6d72dc6a01a583. Updated balance: paytm wallet - rs 95.65

Sir
Although i have paid on 23rd january 2018 rs.999, it is unfortunate to note that you have not bothered to supply the newspaper and the promised bag. Your people have mentioned that complaint is closed.
Never expected this from your end.
Please solve this long pending issue immediately and oblige.

I haven't received hindu newspapers and kids weekly paper of saturday having subscribed early last october on the stepathon event at their office. Having repeatedly complained about this, we received 5 copies of the kids issue alone. Now nothing has arrived in spite of repeatedly complaining. We have been subscribers for nearly 40 years and we are unable to bear the quality dropping off now. We expect the hindu senior officials to look into this issue and sort it as soon as possible. Subscribers have got a very high image of this news paper.

I am a subscriber of hindu and have a lot of respect for their publications.
In november 2017 i paid for subscription of business line. I received paper for only 1 week and then after i used to get 2 or 3 copies every 2 weeks and there were incidents where i did not get copy for more than 3 weeks at a stretch.

Hindu team could not clear the issue (Complaint number is a111079, a124974, a128072) and hence without any option i had to opt for a refund on 4th january 2018, complaint number is a129514.

Until now i have not received refund and i call every week to ask for an update but the response is "issue has been prioritized and it will be resolved soon".

This is not expected from a reputed publication like hindu.

My last year subscription would expire on 28th feb but i stop receiving newspaper on 10th feb only and i renewed the subscriptions on 12th feb (For the year[protected] and i was told i'll start receiving newspaper from march 1 but till now i havnt receive.
I'm an upsc aspirant and newspaper is so much important for me but my concern has been neglated. I tryed calling customer care and they say call tomorrow, since 1 week.

Hi
Today m sharing my story to all u ppl.. Plz go through this n try to share as much as u can so that ppl like Mr syed Mujahid Pasha can understand we girl r not made for nly enjoyment or time pass... I am sharing his no. [protected]... Plz call him n ask him why he did this wd me... Actually m a Hindu girl...we both r working in same company.. N he came to my life..he proposed me.. He made all false promises that he ll marry me.. He will convince my parent n all... After three years I came to knw he is already in a physical relationship wd one girl.. Her name is Arbina tabbasum.. She is from kolar nly... Mr. Syed was playing wd both o[censored]s at a time..Now when I came to knw abt his truth, I started to ask why d hell he did this all wd me... Then he was very rude n he straight forward replied me that bcoz m a Hindu girl he can't marry me.. So he told me to go from his life... M asking from all u ppl that if he was knowing that bcoz m a Hindu so he can't marry me then wt s hell he was doing wd me from so long??? Time pass???? He does not have any concern for a girl feelings??? OK if he was doing time pass then why d hell he came so close to me??? M going to share all mine n his pic n all Mr syed Mujahid Pasha n Arbina's conversation... Just see how nicely he was playing wd two girl at a time...

On sep 7, 2017 the hindu had published an article titled "1 in 7 medical seats goes to chennai" under which they had put a chart depicting that from sivagangai district 39 people had got medical seats.

But the information received through rti states that only 1 person had got selected in neet from sivagangai.

Publishing such wrong information, the hindu should accept it had published a wrong news on such and such date and publish a apology to the public for the wrong news..

Actually i am a girl.. And what i am going to share this is very private information.. So i don't want to share my name n all... Actually wt hapend i was working in one private company in 2015..in the same company one of my frnd mr syed mujahid pasha... He belongs to kolar (Karnataka) was working in in my team.. He proposed me.. Even i accepted it.. We became so close to each other... Many times he asked me to slp wd him but i denied it... After three years i came to knw that he was already in a physical relationship wd one girl from kolar nly... And the thing is that he was in a physical relationship wd that girl from last 6-7 years... When i came to knw his cheating he is not ready to tell me sorry nothing just direct he is telling to go from my life... He is telling me now that bcoz m a hindu girl so his parent will not accept me... He will marry to that girl bcoz she has slept wd him before marriage.. M asking to him n from everyone that if this is the matter that his parent will not accept me then wht he was doing wd me from so many days n why d hell he was cheating me from so long??? Why d hell he came so close to me... I just wanna tell that there was nly one thing that i dint slp wd him on bed.. Apart from that he did all d things wd me in park n dark place in office... I just wanna ask to everyone girl are a things for entertainment so anyone can use it for just time pass n enjoyment.. Even we have feelings...

Almost a year back i subscribed to the hindu daily newspaper online. When i no more needed it i unsubscribed for the newspaper about 6 months back. Still every month they charge me Rs. 99. Don’t know why. Typical misuse of my card.

I have already sent many mails regarding the issue. But they have a pathetic customer care facility.

Please refund all my money that you wrongfully debited from my card and make...

I am dr. S. Ragavanantham, who resides in gandhi road, velachery. My subscriber id is [protected].
From the beginning, the fellow who is delivering the newspaper just throws the paper from the main road. Most often it will fall either on the road or in the wet area of the car park. We insisted him to deliver just inside the doors. But no response. I tolerated.
Many saturdays and sundays he delivered dhinathanthi instead of hindu. We missed many saturday and sunday issues. I tolerated.
But now, last one week i didn't get the newspaper at all..
By subscribing online, i might have saved few hundred rupees.. But if i haven't bothered about this penny, i would have got newspapers daily without fail through my regular fellow, for whom we should give 30 rupees per month as delivery charges apart from the paper cost.
So, i assure you that i will not repeat this blunder of subscribing online hereafter, and i request you to kindly look into the matter and solve the issue asap.

I have subscribed to the weekend tabloid during the auto expo show in aug 2017. Through mr satish davey. Inspite of innumerable calls and visits to the hindu office, i have received only first six copies. I request you to kindly refund my money back.
My subscription no [protected] to the hindu student edition is valid from 24.09.2017 to 28.10.2018.
