The Hindu Complaints & Reviews

Respected sir/mam,
We have received information about this apj abdul kalam welfare society - all india mathematics bright student award test thro' school.

So my daughter participated on july 2nd 2017 in hyderabad, and announced as winner (80% mark).

But we haven't received the scholarship, they told to send account details which was sent to them.

After that when i reached thro' the contact number provided by the website - their response is not good, i sent messages and mails to them - no response for that.

Looks like many kids are cheated by this welfare organization.. Each kid who participated for the exam paid 200/- for the exam. I strongly object this as it's affecting kids and when the kids where is the scholarship money which they promised, i am not able to say answer for them..

It's too young to cheat them. Pls do the needful, at least we have to create awareness, so that others will not get cheated.

Dear sir
Our family is subscribing “the hindu” news paper for more than 75 years. Now for the past 3 weeks we don’t get the news paper at home. I have been getting in touch with your local agents mr ummer at tirurkad and mr najimuddin mankada) and simultaneously with your ciriculation managers mr balamurali (Kochi) and mr deepu (Calicut) for a solution. There seems to be some communication gap and ego problem between the local agents and your officers regarding billing of the extra copies. I wonder why should the subscriber suffer for that. Kindly do the needfull to necessray action to reinstate the news paper distribution.
Thanking you
Yours truly

We will be very much thankful to you if you help us in getting the newspaper at the earliest.

I have subscribed the hindu for one year on 10th august. My transaction was successful and at that time i was able to see the epaper. But when i logged in again it is showing me my previous status that is 'renew subscription'. I have called customer care they told me to mail them. I sent mail with necessary transaction details but till now there is no response from their side. Now they are not even picking up the call.
Try to resolve this issue asap.

I am a student and i had subscribed hindu newspaper on august 2016. For 3 months paper came after that the agent didn't suppied paper and i complained to hindu customer care. They said they will look on matter but there was no result and no paper after that. After 8 months shifting my home anna nagar i applied for address change on august 2, 2017 but i never got paper till totay august 10, 2017. I am unhappy with way of response to complaints and the way hindu newspaper agents treating the customers.

This complaint is with regard to the news that was published on your website on September 05 2015 regarding the ban of Nirapara Food products. This particular ban was revoked by High Court on October 14th, 2015, in the absence of any finding on the unsafe nature of the product. The same news was published on your online newspaper portal as well. But in spite of the ban revocation by the High Court and though the news was published at a later date, the negative news is appearing on the first page of Google results. This is affecting the reputation of the brand severely. This particular brand has several loyal customers and is trusted by the people but the negative news about the product online will only create more panic.
While researching on reputation management online, we came across an article which said that while uploading a particular news certain tags are used and the same tags are used when there is any update or correction regarding that particular news. Would you kindly check if the same tags were used while uploading this news articles? We also hope you would be kind enough to co operate with us and help us remove the negative news result from Hindu appearing on Google.
Your support on this matter would be highly appreciated.

I've subscribed the hindu young world newspaper online for annual purpose with subscriber id: [protected] on 28th of july, 2017 but i haven't received the newspaper even after two fridays have gone by. I don't know which newspaper vendor i need to talk as there are several. I'm very much looking forward for the newspaper in this upcoming friday. Expecting a quick response. Regards....

My name is babu lukose, i was using my debit card no.[protected]. I paid 0nline rs.999/= to the hindu news paper as yearly subscription on june 30, 2017. This amount has been debited to my sb account no.[protected] on june 30, 2017. But the hindu newspaper did not receive the subscription amount.

I am a resident of tansi nagar 1st street, velachery, chennai. We have a school at the end of the road, kids walk through the street to reach the school. There is no garbage dumping bin for this street which has 100s of families residing.

Kids had to stamp on the junk (House hold waste, construction debris, tree waste etc) thrown on the road to reach the school. If there is even a bit of rain, the scenario goes worse, garbage floating in to the nearby appartments/houses.

I would request chennai corporation to take the required action to place a garbage bin in the right location for the residents to dispose their daily waste. Also, please do instruct the corporation clearance employees to clear the accumlation on a daily basis. Please do not expect the residents to junk their garbage waste in lic colony main road bin or taramani road bin, since, it is already overflowing.

The current situation is posing a serious health hazard to the kids and senior citizens residing in the area and kids commuting to the school.

Thanks in advance for the immediate action.

Sir,
With reference to the above, i was alloted this reference number based on the onlne payment of
Rs 899/- on 8th may 2017.
As is seen from my address i stay at venkatapuram,. Alwal
It appears from my paper boy as well as the paper distributor, my paper is being given to the
Bowenpally area, it is requested that this be corrected immediately as it has become my (Almost) daily routine to call[protected]. The person on this number listens to me patiently and allots me a complaint number.. The latest being a041941.
It is requested that some coordination is organised from your end is carried out and the matter is
Resolved between you, your office, your distributor and the paper boy.
It will certainly look deplorable that a reputed paper (I have been reading for the last 45 years) cant resolve a matter of distribution.
A feed back stating that the matter is resolved may kindly be sent to me (Apart from the machine
Generated impersonal email)

This is very poor service... Till now paper subscription of hindu (English) edition not resumed.. Due to change of address..
More than one month.. I have reported in the first mail after ten days of new house shifting..
Request reference number is a044584.. Very very poor..
The first official information on june23..2017.. Till now its not resolved
Today's date[protected]
