    Sub No: YWPRO349 ID:W20140718SUBS104 (G.S.PAVITRA D/O.K.G.SUBRAMANIAN) With reference to my mail dated 12.5.15 requesting to update change of address and continue to mail "YOUNG WORLD", neither the address appear to have been updated nor the papers were dispatched. I have been not receiving the paper since 1st May 2015. MY OLD ADDRESS: T-7, 3RD FLOOR, ANANDAM APARTMENT, DR.ABDUL KALAM STREET, BALU AVENUE, SELAIYUR. PO. CHITLAPAKKAM, CHENNAI-600073 MY NEW ADDRESS: BLOCK-D, SF-2, RAMANI JANAKAPURI APARTMENT, C.K.COLONY, NEW SIDHAPUDUR, COIMBATORE-641044. Speaking to "The Hindu" head office is waste of time since no one gives a responsible reply except the telephone operator. Please send the newspaper from 1st May 2015 onwards and oblige.

                  My name is JEYAPAUL. I am annual subscriber for the Hindu, For the past one month the Sunday edition is not delivered to me because of change of paper boy during Sundays. When I contacted the distributor Mr. Murali in Mobile number [protected] (Trichy Airport Area) he was talking very rough and giving false report regarding delivery relying upon his paper boy. He is spoiling the reputed image of 'The Hindu' in this area. Kindly solve my problem. Other wise refund my advance payment immediately.

                      I have been reading The Hindu newspaper for about 22 years. I have been liking the content of the news in general and i appreciate you for that. Yesterday 17 Apr 2015, the Bangalore edition i was taken back by the content. It was the advertisement on page J2 of the Kalyan jewellers. I was very much offended by the content. I see child servant holding an umbrella. It is very obvious and feels like a promotion for child labour. I have attached the same content here. It is my sincere obligation, that you do not promote child labour in any form. Please take necessary steps in condemning such promotions.

                            Road to be Laid @ the end of Raju Street about 100Mtrs as per the starting level of Raju Street. This tiny Raju Street (12 feet) is the only one approach at present to Marudeeswarar Koil 4 Acre vacant land worth about 200Crores & it connects towards the busy Thiruvanmiyur, Adyar & Besant Nagar as a bye line is very badly neglected by the civic authorities. In 2010 half of the Raju street road laid with cement and the balance road not laid because one Mr Jayaraman encroached the road. In 2012, the officials removed the encroachment and from 2012 to till date the balance road was not laid. Recently we understand that because the officials threatened by Mr Selvaraj IAAS, a neighbor house, since his house level is below the road level. Whenever officials come for laying he or his daughter-in-law shouts, hence officials not taking any actions. As per Raju Street, the officials shows partiality to all, because @ the entrance of Raju Street a house is also @ low level but, there they laid, but @ the end of the Raju street they shows partiality in laying the road or not to lay the road. He gives several complaints to various departments by influencing his powers. We understand Amma policy is that no public should not affect for an individual, hence we request official to take a biased decision in laying the road. Due to this, heavy drainage leakage like ponds weekly twice or thrice, which creates health hazards to our people? Several complaints given to CMWSSB officials finally they said that, the road to be raised as per our last chamber level to avoid the heavy leakage, hence for the past 6 months we are facing serious health hazards, also very difficult to walk & drive, since the road itself 12 feet, he himself encroached the road about 3 feet by extended his ramp. Need immediate action. Amma ungal por pathangalai thoottu vanungukirom - Pl give immediate relief & prevent us from Health hazards by extending the road as per the starting level of Raju Street.

                                We were subscribers of "The Hindu" daily since 6 years in the present permanant address ( Dr.P.S.Geethanath, Flat No 207, Shashikanth Apartment, Near Ramachandra Mission, Kurnool) and 25 years totally. Now The Hindu distributor Mr Monohar Reddy, mobile [protected] refused to deliver paper through a delivery boy saying that he cannot climb stairs and deliver the paper in 3 floor. And for the past 2 months paper was not promptly delivered and payment was made with out a fail. I'm a retired person aged 62 years, I should walk 2 kms to get 'The Hindu" news paper from the shop, in this case if this distributor abruptly stops paper delivery, I will be missing the paper which makes me unsatisfactory. Please resolve my problem.

                                  I stay in Bangalore, electronic city phase 2. I have subscribed Hindu newspaper for 6months on 18/2/2015. Today its 2/4/2015, I haven't received even a single piece of Hindu paper. I have repeatedly called the paper agent, who ignores all the time. Have called Hindu office as well, who give false promises. I thought The Hindu was most reputed news paper in India. And this the service you provide. Pathetic.

Repeated mails get only the usual customer care reply that the issue will be resolved within 72 hours. It's been 19 days today. The Mangalore office of The Hindu is insulting and abusive. I am an ordinary individual. Will I get justice? Is this really a legally strong website? I am unable to do anything about such open cheating. Please help me.
