I had opted for times of india's one year subscription. I had also paid for the same in last week of july. But i haven't received any coupon regarding same. My vendor always ask me for coupons but due to negligence of a your team i am always unable to provide him coupons. I have also lodged so many complaints regarding same but no reply has been received yet. Kindly send me coupons immediately or cancel my subscription and refund me the money.

My subscription no.[protected] till date i have not received the coupan. Though i lodged 1st complain on 6th oct'17 thereafter your crm miss mousumi contacted me but not providing me the courier name, docket no & ph. No. Since she repetedly sending me mail for different matter but overlooking the main part. She lodge complain but i am not awar that.

This is with reference to an advertisement that was published in times of india on 10th of september 2017 by hyper cat wherein it was mentioned that there is flat 50% discount on any grocery item purchased from the application referred in the advertisement, by using a promo code.

Based on such advertisement in the newspaper, i placed an order on 10th of september 2017 for an amount of rupees 5202 in which i was offered a flat 50% discount of rupees 2601 and the balance of rs. 2601 was to be paid. Since there was not cash on delivery option available, i had to make the payment through my credit card which was duly paid by me and the order was placed.

Subsequently, when the order was not delivered at my residence within the expected delivery time period, i inquired with the contact information available in the application which included a phone number and also the companies email id.

I dropped email id to the company regarding the status of my order but did not get any revert from the company. I even tried to contact the phone number but the call never got connected and the line was always busy.

Subsequently i tried to search online whether any other customer has suffered the similar issue and found out that it was not only me but there were several other customers which were defrauded by such a scheme which was openly distributed with one full page advertisement in the times of india. Such offer was exclusively available in few cities only in gujarat which included ahmedabad surat rajkot etc.

Immediately on coming aware of such of such an issue i contacted the customer care of sbi bank and told them to stop the transaction so that the money is not transferred to the merchants bank account, vide my telephonic conversation on 27th september 2017, but was informed that the amount has already been transferred to the merchant account and now it could not be cancelled.

I was told to drop a mail to you wherein i can get the expected results from you.

Please help me get back my money against which nothing has been delivered to me till now nor i expect that the same would be delivered.

The agent rana article that is coming in times of india paper is extremely pathetic and in bad taste. Why r we trying to spoil the youth by putting such ridiculous articles. There is so much news n productive stuff that times of india can publish in that same space. Why r u choosing to put such dirty articles.?? We the public will appreciate if times understands that they have a responsibility of spreading knowledge n information to enlighten the public n not to demoralize today's youth. Please behave mature n stop the cheap sex talks hints in that article. It is so obvious.

Subject : unverified/unacceptable published article/news in toi dated
26.10.17 (Page 6) titled “ father who beats son cant spend
Vacation with him, says hc”
Respected sir/madam,
I am enclosing herewith the soft copy of the order. This is to inform that the news published in your esteemed newspaper “times of india” is not verified. This news seems to be against many innocent fathers.in the order it is also written “at this stage the court cant give the access”. It is because the matter of appeal is already pending. The meaning of this order is not taken into consideration in this published article in a proper way. The allegations yet to be proved by opponent. The allegations that the father pinches and beats to the child cannot be quoted as it is not a finding. Actually the child interview is taken twice by family court judge, who has not considered the alienation of child done by his mother against innocent father and child has been compelled to speak wrongly infront of judge by being tutored and brainwashed, also reason of lack of father child meetings. No opportunity to lead evidence was given to parties and the matter was decided. This family court order dated 22 march is also challenged in hc and is pending.
The 9 years old minor child do not have decision efficacy, he is wrongly treated by his mother. The father immensely loves his child.
The child permanent custody was with his father and access was given to the mother as per the consent terms during 21st may 2013. When the mother carried child for access she did not returned after 25th of december 2014, this is actually an abduction. Father filed contempt procedings in hc in january 2016 is still pending. The mother remarried with an elderly person and have her another daughter from him and also receiving child maintenance from her first husband. She filed modification of consent terms (M. A.) petition after abduction i. E in june 2015. Family court shifted custody to her without verifying the proofs on 22 march 2017. Therefore father filed appeal in hc in may 2017 is still pending.
Therefore the allegations on father are false and unproved and cannot be quoted as are misleading. It is the situation of many fighting fathers for justice of child custody who are falsely alleged by their estranged wives and courts are considering to prefer positively towards vendictive mothers. It is necessary to think about the concept of parental alienation. The custodial parent teaches wrong image about non custodial parent to the child. This is affecting badly on many children for their physical and mental growth. Child needs both the parents. The courts should atleast support the shared parenting plans, it should not be biased among the parents.
The source to give this news/article to newspaper wants to extend the plus points in their case. The father is almost fighting since almost three years.
Therefore kindly publish urgently clarification news incorporating this and the fact of the pending case else appropriate action will be taken against the article/news.
Kindly avoid the names and residence places.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully

My self pravin chandra shantilal domadia from 20/a ramesh mitra road kolkata-700025. I subscribed for the daily on 22.06.2017 i did the payment through cheque (Cheque no.-000091). It's been more then 3 months i didn't received a single copy of your daily. I received the coupons. I tried to contact my vendor sales team but i didn't received anything in concrete. Now i don't want your subscription & request you to process the refund for the same.

The times of india contains many photos of gods and goddesses.in india mewspapers are used for many other purposes after reading once such as for cleaning, wrapping food, etc. And at last they are thrown in dustbins.
My suggestion is to avoid printing the photos of gods and goddesses in your newspaper because gods' photos are considered very pious in india.
