Address:

Howrah, West Bengal, 711101

To
Whom it may concern,

Dear sir, madam,

I smt. Sumi ghosh w/o late. Sanatkumar ghosh residing at 70/2/2 kali prasad banerjee lane howrah 711101 am writing this email in great sorrow and helplessness. We're attached with the times of india kolkata edition for more than 43 years my husband late. Sanatkumar ghosh used to transport your renowned and esteemed newspaper in the route howrah - amta till his death on 09.09.2008 and after that i used to transport the newspaper packets till date but from 23.03.2018 without giving any prior notice or intimation the newspaper packets transportation work has been given to somebody named mr. Bapi debnath who is the trinamool congress hawker leader of howrah station jn. As far as i know we've direct contacts with the times of india as because we raise bills in the name of times of india/bennett coleman and co. Ltd. But for some months we came to know as said by times of india employees that mr. Adhir giri is the contractor and we do not have any direct relationship with the times of india. But i've documents to support that we've direct relationship with your company. The payment was made in cash upon production of valid receipt in favour of bennett coleman and co. Ltd. Many of your officers namely anupam malakar, arvind chaubey, amitabh, om prakash have been intimated and requested by us to not terminate our transportation services still they were adamant to kick off our services and give it to mr. Bapi debnath why i don't know. Why are these officers forcing adhir giri to give the transportation services to bapi debnath. I think they're taking some personal favours from bapi debnath as because being in the business for more than 43 years is not a joke and the dealers whom we supply the newspapers too do not have any issue against us. I've requested your officers vide 2 letters to not stop our services but still it was unanswered we're not even allowed to enter your office in kolkata are we street beggars why this kind of attitude? An officer of yours in 13/1 government place east, kolkata 700069 named mr. Amitabh even forced our agents to sign a paper which stated that receive the times of india newspaper packets are 10 am in the morning but actually we send these by 5:15 in the morning. Isn't it partiality. I even requested to give me the packets to me for transportation to me on 23.03.2018 but they refused to supply it as i cannot see myself and my children to die because of starvation i decided to request them for giving the packets to me and i was holding the packets near to my heart as because i and my family are emotionally attached with times group for more than 43 years. Still they supplied fresh newspaper to mr. Bapi debnath for the route. I've spend a huge amount of money to transport the packets by a separate car and still times officers as named above have restricted the dealers not to accept the packets supplied by us and said those packets are to be fined by us. I'm not that financially strong, is being a widow and poor a sin? I request you to kindly go through the matter i don't have enough favours to please your officers but does that means that i've to starve to death. Being a widow, i'm being seen as a soft target by your company officers i've a son who is unemployed and a daughter who is unmarried.
Hope you can understand my situation and give me justice otherwise there will be no option by me because of acute financial shortages and starvation than to commit suicide in front of your office either by self immolation or by starving to death.
Please help us and give justice.

Thanks and regards,

Yours faithfully,
Sumi ghosh
