We are not receiving the newspaper regularly. Sometimes supplements are missing and other times full paper is missing. The vender T. Nageshwar Rao cuts the phone and does not receive the complaint. The Times of India has not listed any phone or email address for making the complaint. This is very frustrating. what to do?

Most of the news paper agents & vendors in Pune now a days are refusing selling TOI edition without Mirror. I believe Mirror is a supplementary and not complimentary. In case TOI would like to supply Mirror along with the main edition & impose the burden on the reader, the value of the newspaper needs to printed on the face accordingly. Or proper regulatory measures are required to be taken by the circulation section so that such unfair trade practices would be discontinued from the newspaper agency / vendors. The list of such agency / vendors are made available if required.

This is true and for the last two years i am facing the same problem. Currently there is union of the paper vendor and does not allow more than one person for any paper in my area (Dhokali naka, Thane west). The vendor does not lift mobile, there won't paper for atleast 2days in a month and daily paper will be given as per the vendor time. Other issues are like : other than this 2days missing some times, paper will be given in beside flats but not in my flat and reasons are like some one has stone your paper after i kept in front of your flat... They dont even give the times of india paper executive numbers of this area. To our fate there is no complaint cell in times of india website nor any contact. If I put pressure on this vendor he will not even supply current issue and saying to complain where ever he want.

thanks

History
Nagarjuna Sagar Reservoir
The Krishna River is a river of India that originates at Mahabaleswar in Maharashtra, passes through Sangli and meets the sea in the Bay of Bengal at Hamsaladeevi in Andhra Pradesh. The state of Andhra Pradesh was unable to effectively use the river until the mid 20th century, due to the absence of a reservoir which could store the water. River floods devastated the villages in the Krishna district while Nalgonda district and Guntur were unable to use the excess water.[2][3]
The proposal to construct a dam to use the excess waters of the river was put forward by the British rulers in 1903. Siddeswaram and Pulichintala were identified as the suitable locations for the reservoirs. However, none of these proposals materialized. The perseverance and single minded determination of the Raja of Muktyala paved way for the construction of the dam.[4][5]
Based on the reports submitted by the Khosla committee in 1952, the congress government formed under the leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru decided to construct reservoirs in drought hit areas under the first five year plan. The state governments were asked to submit a report on the possible locations for such project. After the formation of the Andhra Pradhesh state in 1953 and the submission of a report by the government, the foundation stone for the Nagarjuna Sagar dam was laid on 10 December 1955. It was named after the buddhist monk Nagarjuna.[6][7]
project and construction
The dam water was released by the then Prime Minister's daughter, Indira Gandhi in 1967.[8] The consruction of the dam submerged an ancient Buddhist settlement, Nagarjunakonda, which was the capital of the Ikshvaku dynasty in the 1st and 2nd centuries, the successors of the Satavahanas in the Eastern Deccan. Excavations here had yielded 30 Buddhist monasteries, as well as art works and inscriptions of great historical importance. In advance of the reservoir's flooding, monuments were dug up and relocated. Some were moved to Nagarjuna's Hill, now an island in the middle of the reservoir. Others were moved to the mainland.[9]
The project started in February 1956 but due to scarcity of funds modern equipment was not available. The project was constructed with stone instead of concrete. A cement factory was constructed near Macherla to meet the project requirement. A railway line was laid connecting the project location and the cement factory. Stones were supplied from the nearby Sunkesula quaries. Sand was supplied from Rayavaram stream and Halia river. The construction of the dam was completed by 1969. The dam came under full usage from 1972 after fitting the crest gates. Two canals - the left and right canals were constructed to supply water from this reservoir. Total expenditure on the project (including maintenance till 2005) is around 1300 crore rupees. The number of workers participating in the project varied from 45,000 to 70,000. Around 174 people died due to accidents during the construction

NO NAME ETC BUT NO RESPONSE FROM YOU AND I UNDERSTAND BOOKINGS ARE CLOSED AND BEING A REPUTED NEWS PAPER SINCE YOU HAVE TAKEN MY BOOKING WHY DENY NOW. I AM NOT HAPPY THE WAY YOU ARE STARTING. PL CHECK UP OF ANY MANIPULATION AT LOWER LEVELS .I AM SORRY TO TYPE CAPITAL LETTERS HOPE YOU WILL REPLY AND RESOLVE THANKS

sir/mam

i want to attract ur attention towards the misuse of the power given to women.
now a days it is very common for boys and girls to fall in love and ran away from home, in such kind of matter both make mistake but if they caught all blame is on boy side then the boy and its family suffer inspite the family do not make any mistake. police wale. court all favour the girl but why the court do not understand that boy mother is also a women.so i want to said that both deserved the punishment and not their family

i have send a renewal form along with subscription cheque Rs.299/- for the Time of India chennai edition for another 12 months on 26.08.2010 and my cheque also cleared on 19.10.2010 but till date I am not yet recived any coupen and daily paper also so you take necessary steps for nenew the subscripton for another 12 months and send the acknowledgement.

you are right..!!
Who are these fellows to decide...?

Very true & disgusting! TOI does not admit "push" strategy when contacted. But Vendor says, distributers are instructed to push Speaking Tree. Readers should make it a point to boycott Speaking Tree - If not possible boycot TOI.

Make it a point to contact TOI & tell them that their tree sucks!

We too are facing a similar problem now. We are residing in Panathur, 1/2 km from Kadubisnahalli and 1 to 2 km from Marathahalli.The news paper agent is refusing to deliver us "Times of India" stating some clumsy reason that the paper reaches his agency very late.He has been delivering us paper for the past 2 years and has been claiming an extra Rs.10. When we refused now, he is cooking up new stories and is not delivering the paper.
