The Hindu Complaints & Reviews

Myself kumar babu padaga, residing in flat a3 krishna nagar 5th line of guntur, ap has paid renewal rs 699/- as six month subscription of sport star in dec 2019.
Not received any copy till date.
As i am existing sportstar customer who received sportstar from jul 2019 till 6 months in same address, do not know why the postal subscription not coming.

I informed this to my local guntur hindu agency authorities.

But no support from them.

Hindu agency manager mr kishore started giving me hindu daily paper from jan 1, 2020 and not clearing my sportstar issue.

Sir/mam
I am a resident of balachaur nawanshahr, punjab
I have asked for monthly subscription of hindu newspaper from the distributor here.. He clearly refused to provide me the same on the account that newspaper is only supplied i[censored] get two months subscription...
I ll shift to chandigarh in july.. Why will i pay for one month extra... Newspaper is my right to get if m paying even on daily basis.. How can u deny me service... Kindly resolve my complain at the earliest..

Dear sir,

We have paid to the hindu for yearly subscription amount on mar 2020, and we are residing in chintadripet as there is only one paper agency proprietor and his name is balu. Even after paying subscription amount in online he is not giving paper for past 4 months and he is not giving respect and even proper response. And also he is telling that if you pay the amount by cheque only i will give the paper otherwise pay the paper cost and get the paper or go and complain wherever you want.

Hence please take necessary action and refund the subscription amount. And we don't want newspaper.

Dear sir/madam,
In the present scenario of corona virus pandemic striking our society, the daily newspaper is not being delivered to me for the past more than one month and taking into consideration the non delivery, i request you to kindly convert the balance of subscription to online e-paper.

Subscriber id : [protected]
Hindu reference id : t20191119esub7024
Amount : rs. 1, 299.00
In this regard, i have sent mails on 16.5.2020 & 19.5.2020, but there is no reply as yet, which is quite regrettable for a reputed publication like yours.
I get regular messages to subscribe for e-paper, but you do not have the courtesy of replying and resolving my subscription issue.
In this regard, i am frustrated at the callous attitude from your end.
Hence, i request you to refund the balance amount on pro rata basis, immediately.
Pl. Note t hat i have been a regular reader of your newspaper, but i did not expect this kind of callous response/no response from your end.
Atleast pl. Do reply now and resolve the issue.
Regards

I have opt for yearly package though i paid for subscription i'm not getting news paper even i'm calling customer care they said issue will be cleared in 3 days but its already 10 days nothing happen, unhappy with hindu service and cheating people taking money

Non receipt of daily edition of 'The hindu' newspaper since may 1st 2020

D w chandran ([protected]@gmail.com) [protected]. Worked as bm, indian bank in various branches in chennai & cbe.

Reader of the hindu since 1965 during my college days from tirunelveli. And tamil thisai almost since launch. Subscribed annual for both. Though i had complaints for various reasons earlier i did not bother to make it.

On 26th april sunday i have not received the hindu (Eng) and subsequently delivered it on the next day, 27th.
Today, 3rd may hindu tamil thisai has not been delivered.

When questioned with the agent mr selvakumar, he annoyed stating that he has not received the paper. Only when i receive that i could deliver. If i remember correct that we get newspapers since 1974 during his fathers' and my father's days. Area perumalpuram 627007. I get from him thinamalar also in addition to the above two. He said that he was responsible for thinamalar only and not for the other two, as i have paid on-line subscription., when i retaliated that i cannot accept waste papers the next day.

Needless to say that success depends not only on the quality but also whether it reaches the customers in time.

Hi,

I had subscribed to the hindu thru online for a yearly subscription (2019_20) and for the past few months, i was not getting paper regularly in spite of several complaints registered to the hindu customer care. I am forced to cancel the subscription and requested to refund the balance amount for the remaining subscription period. The request service request number sr 47674 is still pending almost for 3 weeks and no reply to my mails also as on date.

Regards
Shankar

Cc: mahadevan ramakrishnan

Kind Attention - The Hindu, Leading English News Paper- Chennai[protected]

Again I am sending my request letter to your good office for immediately communicating to Shri Kamal Haasan -The Actor turned politician/intellectual -since your News paper published ( copy attached) the letter written on 6/4/2020 by Shri Kamala Haasan to our Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticizing the 21 lock down promulgated from 25/4/2020 which is supposed to have created mayhem across the Nation.

Let us not forget that we have Kamal Hasaan an intellectual who is universally accoladed as Friend Philosopher and Guide ( if not A GOD FATHER) who can easily stop this menace of COVID 19 without implementing the lock down from 15/4/2020, which will be a "big sigh of relief:" to all the State Ministers who are desperately breaking their Head whether Lock down should continue or not after 14/4/2020 when the 21 days lock down gets over.

IN FACT KAMAL HAASAN WILL DEFINITELY COME OUT WITH SOME UNBELIEVABLE & UNEXPECTED SOLUTION WHICH WILL CLEARLY EXPRESS ALL THE PRODUCTIVE/PROACTIVE ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN AND AT THE SAME WILL NOT THINK OF IMPOSING LOCK DOWN FROM 15/4/2020, AND THIS MOVE IS GOING TO REVOLUTIONARY.

Further your News paper has published another article dated 7/4/2020 about Chhattisgarh(copy attached) for containing virus spread, in which it says that Lock Down has immensely helped .

However we should not "jump the gun" since Kamal Hasaan will be itching criticize the Minister of Chhattisgarh, and will express his vision and steps that should have been taken by the State Health Minister of Chhattisgarh.

I am confident that The Hindu will not let me down who is a senior citizen writing this letter on behalf of all the citizens of this Nation who are eagerly waiting for the immediate solution that will be implemented by Kamal Hasaan from 15/4/2020 to contain this deadly corona virus which has shaken the whole world as this PANDEMIC is considered worse than second world war, since THOUSANDS have been already lost their life despite untiring support & cooperation from Doctors, Nurses, Health care staff, public cleanliness, .Police support, etc without sleep or Food as well risking their life and even neglecting their beloved & family.

Thank you for your cooperation and support
your truly

To
The HINDU NEWS PAPER
CHENNAI

At the outset thank you for publishing the attached letter written by the intellectual, actor turned politician Kamal Hasan to our Prime Minister Narendra Modi which enlightened all those educated Indian citizens about the " out of the box " thinking talent of the actor as well as about his proactive vision to bring reforms, help the poor, fight for the uplift of the underprivileged, etc

Now he has got a GOLDEN opportunity to fight this COVID 19 without extending Lock Down from 15/4/2020 which was without commonsense was forced by our PM for 21 days eventually creating mayhem all over the Nation

Our PM has already done the exercise of interacting with all the Ministers of the states through Videoconferencing to gather their ideas and inputs which could help to take transparent decisions for individual states depending upon what is ideally suited which can eventually alleviate the continuing mental trauma of all the Indian citizens.

It has become big dilemma with regard to taking a decision for either to extend or not to extend the Lock down which will get over on 14/4/2020 after the announced 21 days

ALL OUR LEADERS ARE FOOLS!!

IN TAMIL NADU THERE IS A GREAT THINK TANK Mr KAMAL HASAN WHO IS NATIONALLY ACKNOWLEDGED AS FRIEND, PHILOSOPHER AND GUIDE (SHOULD I SAY GOD FATHER)

THE EASIEST WAY TO TELL THE ABOVE INTELLECTUAL AND HE WILL WITHOUT ANY INHIBITIONS WILL IMMEDIATELY GRAB THE OPPORTUNITY WITH BOTH HANDS TO END THIS COVID 19 CALAMITY .

I am very confident that THE HINDU will immediately communicate to the actor Kamal Hasan with the above request letter from a senior citizen who is approaching you on behalf of every Indian is confident that there is going to be a immediate solution for the corona virus without any further Lock Down.

Best regards

What's the use of subscribing if it won't work? If this can't be fixed i need my money back right away. I need a response soon. You can contact via my email below which is also my user id for your website.

Respected official

I am a regular customer of the hindu from about the past decade. The hindu newspaper is enthusiastically read by me and many other regular readers. We are grateful for your service that continues even in this season of covid 19 pandemic.

However, i have noticed that since 26th march, news related to our region puducherry is not present in the newspaper. I request you therefore to look into this issue and include the news related about puducherry so that it's residents would know the condition of puducherry in terms of the spreading pandemic and take the needed measures to keep themselves protected.

I'm grateful for your time that you will so spend in reading my complaint.
Humbly looking forward for your step in solving this issue in the nearest future. (Please contact [protected] for any query)

Best regards

Please refer to my order number W20200316BOOK0019. I had sent an email regarding non receipt of the books. I was given a tracking number for India Post. On tracking I find that the items have been booked and despatched but nothing after that. Kindly trace the items else give me refund

I have not received the issue dated december 20, january 17, 31, february 14, 28, march 13 & 27 of the frontline magazine till date against my subscriber id [protected]. This kind of poor and shabby service is not expected from a reputed group of publications like the hindu who is the harbinger of honesty and good values. I feel like cheated. I had paid my hard earned money of rs.2999/- for 2 years subscription from 21/06/2019 to 04/06/2021 as my son who is a student aims to appear for competitive examination. You will appreciate the fact that non-receipt or late receipt of magazine defeats the very purpose for which it is subscribed.

I am nagabhushan residing at no.357, 4th cross, ams layout, vidyaranyapura, bangalore, karnataka-560097.
I had subscribed for the hindu newspaper annually in the month of july 2019 and have paid full amount. Till february 2020, i got the newspaper. But, from 1st of march 2020, the delivery of newspaper has been stopped but my annual subscription period is till the month of june 2020. So, kindly deliver the newspaper to the above mentioned address.

I had a subscription to the young world magazine and subscriber id is [protected]. The magazine has to be delivered every friday and is activated from the 31st of january 2020.in the last 2 weeks, i have not received the magazine even after complaining to customer care. I have been following up but there is no response that is working for me. I wanted my kids to read the magazine and was very excited. Kindly help.

I have not received the news paper last saturday and again from monday to this saturday. I have remitted my subscription for a 3 year period. Initially i did not receive the paper for about 2 weeks and then the paper was supplied to me. My subscription id is [protected],. The hindu ref id is t20170926esub0095. An amount of rs.2, 772 was paid under bank reference number ol[protected] dt. 26/09/2017.

I am totally disappointed with the paper supply. I am forced to call your marketing department time and again at bangalore for supply of paper. This happens regularly.

I have trying to contact your mr. Omprakash at bangalore and he does not pick the calls or reply to messages. I am totally disgusted with this attitude of the hindu. Probably it is the corporate culture of kasturirangan & sons, to collect amount and then let the customer run around.

I have my subscription valid till september 2020 and hope this complaint would set things in order and let me have the paper till that date.

I am regular reader of your esteemed The Hindu News Paper in English for the past 20 years. I use to remit the subscription thro on line and the same was remitted well in advance. Due to some personal reasons, we have shifted our residence from Fathima Castle, No.9 United India Colony, Third Main Road, Kodambakkam to Door No.F1, First Floor, Maitree Appts, No.38/23 First Cross Street, Trustpuram Kodambakkam. I request you to kindly arrange...
