Times Of India Complaints & Reviews

My subsn No. is IAA 023363. I got the paper y/day i e on 14.02.2011 (launch day) at around 8 a.m.
I accepted there may be delay on the first day of delivery. However, today till now 12.30 the paper is
not supplied. Upon a telephonic complaint at 8.30 a.m. today (over phone 4201222) I was told that
it would be supplied within 3 hours. I wonder how the company is going to survive at coimbatore
where we want to read newspaper at max. 8 a.m. If it continues, I may have no other option than
taking up with Consumer Council for remedy.

I agree with the above post. Once upon a time The Times of India used to be a very good newspaper true to thier logo -Let Truth Prevail. But now a days it has become just a glam magazine. In all the city editions like Bombay times, Pune times etc why is it all about bollywood and actressess?? There is so much happening in the city, can't you'l print that. which actor did what to promote which film and wore what at a party is more important than city happenings?? and they give it a title as 'Pune times' and it has nothing to say about that city!
moreover they print all sleazy pictures, even so in editions like Pune mirror.
would you like your yong son/daughter to see those pictures when he/she picks up the newspaper in the morning??
media is an important factor in moulding our society. and look where our society is heading to!
Why is the media council so loose on thier hold, why isn't any action taken till now on these issues?
and moreover this is a problem with all newspapers that if there is a certain disaster they will print that in bold on front page. Please go through Abdul kalam's speech where he has mentioned of the Indian media being so negative. why can't we print of the progress of our country, educational information, good happenings on the front page, and all the news with negations in the inside pages??
Tody if there is no peace, crime rates have increased and less patience among people it is because media is sending messages indirectly about being negative.
My suggestion to the Newspaper council: WAKE UP!!

It is hightime that we bycott these news paper and Times related hype

I have been an ardent reader of times of India since childhood. Its been observed over the recent years that the pune times, and mirror have just turned into a glam magazine.
The pictures printed are obscene and indecent. Early morning, if you tell your kids to get the newspaper from the door, you think what if the kid see the pictures?
All o[censored]s have enough stress in life to handle already. Why can't we have more positive and good sensible news on front pages and the news on terrorism, mishaps inside?
All we have in Pune times is bollywood masala news on front page. Then why give it the title as "Pune times" It should be given as Bollywood times. The same is the case with Bombay times and other city times. Why do newpaper people need such cheap marketing gimmicks to sell thier newspaper? Don't the newpaper editors have some integrity? Why is there need of such masala articles and semi nude photos, and westernised trends? What for? This attitude is harmful to the society.
Can't we expect some responsibility on behalf of these newpapers, some decency??

Yes there are good articles on stress handling etc inside but just 1 or 2.
Newspapers are the 4th Estate and a powerful media source that shapes society. Have become so inhuman to not see the ill effects of such things on society in the long run. I used to like times of India logo -Truth Triumphs. I hope it is followed more soon enough.
All i have to say is We being responsible citizens of India which speaks so proudly of its rich heritage must try to put a stop to matters that hinder the progress of overall society.
I wish to stop the circulation of Pune Times but it is not an individual booklet, so it seems i will have to stop buying Times Of India Completely!

True We must Boycott such newspapers. Times of India, the city times booklet is no good. and you can't stop the issue of just this booklet as it is provided with the main newspapers. SAVE INDIA. BOYCOTT TIMES OF INDIA!!!

I have send one poetry for Udita magazine.No reply given till now .Please inform me .
Mail me please. thank you.

Earlier we were residing at O.No.23, N.No53,Surappan Street,Triplicane,Chennai-600005 and now we shifted our place to Pallikarnai, So we requested to transfer the TOI Paper Subcription to our new Pallikarnai Address by sending mail to crm.[protected]@timesgro dated31 May.
As of now we are not receiving the papers for past 2 months and there was no responds from TOI executives or from their customer care support, we are really upset with their service. Their executives are good until they take orders once it was taken they didn't even care to check whether the paper is being delivered or not. Many calls to their customer care service ended in vain, either there will be no one to pick the call or they will be saying that the executive would call us soon. We are fed up writing mails to them. Press / Media is meant to help people and solve their problems not to create problems to public.

I agree. Even I am not getting the Bangalore Mirror from Monday (28th March). When asked he said, Times of India is charging for the Bangalore Mirror now, so we are not giving it free. Is that true Times of India charging for the Bangalore Mirror?? anybody is aware of that??

I stay in Maithri Layout, Hopefarm Circle, Bangalore and the TOI vendor is monopoly and he often cheat customers, he collects advance to cheat customer, his attitude and behavior is worst.

If house is locked then they did not deliver the paper and asks for bill, and get dispute and is often their ways.


How TOI monopoly vendors for delivery system, my number is [protected] and my is avsnaidu

hello all,
true the paper is stuffed with ads and it is one of the most reputed newspapers in today's times.Is the paper being responsible enough in advertising. Now say for the ads of Bhavna shahs fitness highway . its there almost, everyday but is it worth to the customer satisfaction, did the times of india group ever tried to peep into the centre and find out how much false promises they make to their customers.., simply mint money, the public entrusts the advertisement blindly as it is with the times of india . Now will the TOI launch complain against their customer, will it voice the complain of a common man.?

i am resident of RAMPUR, U.P.it is situated between moradabad and bareilly on national highway 24. my t.o.i. agent MR.SHAHID IS TAKING road surcharge of RS ONE .WHEN moradabad and bareiily are exempted.kindly look into the matter. when moradabad and bareilly are iexempted RAMPURshould also be exempted reply on my mail [protected]@gmail.com M.QASIM 17, central colony shaukat ali road RAMPUR u.p.
