Times Of India — Misbehavior

Complaints against Ghaziabad Times of India.

Ghaziabad Rajnagar TOI Comes to our college for campus selection but Their Current Placement Coordinator name (Marshal) and someone from TOI (Saurabh) has selected 3 Candidates from campus and call them to their office for next round . but It's shameful to express that such kind of Employees are working with TOI . I don't know what talent TOI find in them but i am sure some of animals have more Etiquette then Marshal and Saurabh. they treat those candidate like a servant and misbehave with them...
Really TOI have to feel shame for such employees they are not deserving TOI and if TOI have right policy at least they should be eliminated ...

really they should learn corporate ethics...

I Shiv Kumar resident of B-13, DDA Flats Kalkaji, New Delhi is a customer of Times of India and Navbharat Times news paper more than last 4 years.

Non-receipt of Coupons for Times of India News Paper

Respected Sir, I have not received the coupons for the News papers (Times Of India) so far. Kindly expedite the same. My subscription No. is[protected]. Yours sincerely, Jagdish Rai Aggarwal M;[protected]

Sir
This is Anil from Bangalore. We are also entiteled for FREE BANGALORE MIRROR with our Times Of India subscription for 3(three months), but we are also not getting it.
We have asked about it to our vendor, MAHESH PHONE NO. IS ..[protected]. He told that Times of India itself is not giving the free edition. But now he is not picking up the phone also.

We are staying at Venkatapura Main Road, Koramangala 1st block..

Sir,

We live in SMS Layout, JP nagar 5th Phase, Near AV School but no-one gets the free Bangalore mirror. Sometimes once a week after complaining many times we do get a copy. Looks like Free copies are being sold!
Agent says TOI does not send enough copies.

I request TOI to take action or stop giving such ads saying free when it cannot be delivered properly.

Contact Lakshminarayan (sumukha agency)

Us too.He hasn't given us the bill for 4 months now and delivers the papers much after 9 A.M.!!!

I too face a similar problem with the vendor. He is Mr. Shabbir in Bhendi Bazaar, Mumbai -400003 area. I had told him that I need time to think on the subcription. After a thought I went to him with the cheque for subcribing the TOI and Economic Times combined subscription. But refuse to start the subscription saying that I cant start it again after discontinuing. I would request the appropriate TOI manager to intervene and help me out of this bullying situation and subcribe me the paper. thanks in advance.

Hello
I have paid an amount of Rs. 180/- for half yearly contribution of paper and since 01/08/2010 the paper is not received. The paper boy says the monthly slip has not been received. This is the second time I did not get the paper. In July 2010 also i did not get the paper for 5 days and this is the second time. The Executives/responsible persons are not at all taking any sort of interst/positive response to our calls. What to do i do not know. Hope all the customers who are paying this half yearly subsciption are victims of this irresponsibel national paper. If you can not manage shut down your doors. Previously i was a subsriber of Deccan Chronicle and never felt these kind of cheating. My mobile No. [protected]

my newspaper vendor has fooled me regarding offers of ECONOMIC times.i had paid by check .
he gives reason there is no offer. i have also receive call 4rm times n conformation of offer.
i am expecting some yearly packages.
plz contact me [protected]@gmail.com SWEEN N. DIAS

I agree with what Vijay has to say.
Apart from this, this vendor adds charges of weekly papers like ET WEALTH and Speaking Tree citing a reason that the company has made it compulsory for him to drop these with the daily newspaper.
I used to have a confrontation with him regarding the same and that is why he has stopped providing me with the ET-TOI Combo and instead he gives Mumbai Mirror-TOI Combo.
Please provide me with some complaint number or email id of TOI or ET as I am assured of the case that ET Wealth is not compulsory to buy with the ET monday edition.

Kind Attention: Mr. Franklyn James - VP / Mr.P.R. Ramesh - Asst General Manager (RMD)

Dear Gentlemen
I am Francis Ambrose residing at Chrompet and a reader of your newspaper since it was launched in Chennai. I have taken the yearly subscription since the first year.

I bring to your notice the fraud and cheating exercised by your agent / paper boy / Times of India Representative in Chrompet

It was on 09.01.2010, your So called and claimed Direct employee of Times of India came with an request to renew the Subscription for the yearly. After checking with your local times of India office at 2431 7979, I paid the subscription to him with a complaint that previous years, the service rendeered by the agents were improper and as a employee of Times of India, he should take corrective action to which he promised. He collected the subscription money of nearly 300 rupees and issue d me the receipt without any serial numer but which was carrying a logo serial number NAC 078608. For the last year my subscription no was NAA 105599 and the yearly book with 12 coupons were issued. But, this time, I was not issued a yearly book with 12 coupons. When I insisted, your TOI employee C.V. VARADHAVANGAN carrying Mobile NO. [protected] told me bluntly that there is no monthly coupon given this time and that TOI stopped it. I happened to check with Landline no. 2431 7979 who answered that it is not there. I was really surprised how TOI could adapt to such method without any information to the subscribers and withdraw the monthly coupon and insist upon yearly subscription. With regard to this, I sent a letter to your office for which no action was taken.

Further to state that in this three months from february, nearly 15 days paper has not been distributed. Also, every day news paper will come invariably between 7 to 8 only. Every time, when I insist upon the same, Your TOI man will not answer and I had to literally follow up with the paper boy who will give every fancy answer for not putting. I had to undergo all this cheating method adopted by your agent / paper boy and TOI employee at chrompet. Further, since yesterday no paper has been distributed and when i insisted upon the same to the paper boy kamesh at [protected], he sarcastically remarked that he can not put and that he has got instruction from the agent. When I tried your TOI employee at [protected], he also did not respond. I did tell the news paper boy that if he fails to put the paper today, which is a repeated occasion, I have to lodge a civil complaint for cheating and fraud being exercised to which he dared to do. I also sent a sms to the concerned paper boy and TOI representative

"PAPER NOT RECIEVED FOR LAST TWO DAYS. SO FAR NEARLY 15 DAYS IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS. DESPITE TO U, NO ACTION AND YOUR PAPER BOY CLAIMS THAT HE CAN NOT PUT. IF YOU DONT TAKE ACTION AND ENSURE SUPPLY IMMEDIATELY, I WILL LODGE A COMPLAINT FOR CHEATING. RESPOND IMMEDIATELY."

Hence, as a last resort, I am bringing to the management of TOI at Chennai to suitably iniiate action against your agent / paper boy / TOI local employee at chrompet, for

a) Not servicing the subscriber regularly

b) Showing disrespect and giving very lethargic answer to the subscriber when complained about the delay and absence of service

c) Not giving me the monthly coupon which is supposed to be given

d) Using audacious language to the subscriber.

I expect a suitable reply from your end immediately and restoring of services and an apology from the concerned for not fulfilling the services regularly / cheating me by not doing the services properly and regularly.

I expect a confirmation of action being taken by you in this regard immediately. I desire that things will not be allowed to precipitate to enable me to seek justice suitably.Further also, if any nuisance is commited by your these persons for taking up the complaint, I have to take a suitable remedial civil action also to safeguard me and my family.

Yours sincerely

mailed-by gmail.com

Kind Attention: Mr. Franklyn James - VP / Mr.P.R. Ramesh - Asst General Manager (RMD)

Dear Gentlemen
Further to my mail sent at 9.32, I had once again tried your TOI employee C.V. VARADHAVANGAN carrying Mobile NO. [protected] and he came on the line. During the conversation, he had told that he would return the money, to which I told him that it is not purview of deciding so and asked him the reason, who has instructed the paper boy not to deliver the papers to my residence, to which he was not answering and kept on avoiding the issue.

To him also, I had indicated that, as a employee of TOI, he is tarnishing the image of the organization and the newspaper and as such, he has to be responsible for any further actions which I may take, if he does not co opearate and service. It is his not purivew that he can decide to continue to service or with draw the service, for I have not paid the money on individual name and but only on TIMES OF INDIA and as such he has no locus standi to withdraw the service, which once again an audacious reply and impropietory action by the so called employee.

I wish and desire that this issue to be resolved immediately within 24 hours of receipt of this complaint so that no individual employee / agent / paper boy can decide the course of service to an subscriber. It is all the more serious that they are trying to cover up some misdoing which they have been doing and resorting to this month.

Once again, I suggest that the issue may be resolved and further also, if any nuisance is commited by your these three persons for taking up / escallating the complaint I have to take a suitable remedial civil action also to safeguard me and my family.

Times News Paper,Chennai — Non receipt after subscription

Dear Sir,

I had subscribed to Chennai edition of Times Newspaper on 11th of July 2008 vide receipt number TOI NAA 023452 in the name of Nanda Kishore A S. But to my dismay I find that they are unable to deliver my copy till today. All my requests seem to have fallen on deaf ears and promises are being made everyday that the same will be sorted out by the very next day. However, it remains undelivered and i am forced to lose my temper daily.
I would like to know what is wrong with my details and if there is still something to be sorted out I request you to cancel the same and return my money because the experience has been rather traumatic

Beside spreading pornography Times of India articles encourages Pre-Marital Sex and Live-In Relationships. Marriage and family values are promoted as untrendy. Some may ask what's wrong with that? Why do you think in the west people are starting to promote 'abstinence from sex before marriage' in colleges. Even in West teenage pregnancies are viewed as detrimental to society. We need to wake up and act now to stop such news media which promote erotic journalism from advancing too far or India will soon end up as a country known for its high teenage pregnancies and high promiscuity among teenagers. If as a Parent or as a concerned citizen if you want to do something to stop this please sign the following Petition.
