The strike has conducted raising following points: 1. Stop their proceedings to acquire 150 acres of land in Notified Industrial Area. In this area, more than 5000 people are residing in their houses. This includes local business centres in different town in Aranmula, Mallapuzhassery, Kidanganoor Villages. 2. The proposed Airport is constructing after filling 450 acres of paddy field. This will lead serious Environmental Hazards. 3. Eventhough in the gazette notification says that the Industrial Notified Area is only about 500 acres. But Survey No. reveals that it is more than 1000 acres. It includes cultivating Paddy Fields and other Agricultural Land, Residential Areas, Worship Places, Bread Winning Local Business Places. The agitation of "Janakiya Samara Samithi' is taken over by different Political, Religious Groups. Due to this the office of KGS Group at Aranmula was closedown and the Illegal Construction of KGS Group was stopped by the Police & Local Bodies. More than 60 % of the people are reading and subscribing your daily. It is really unfortunate that you are not even caring to visit or report this matter in your Daily. This News was well covered by All other medias including Hindu, Indian Express, Maathrubhumi, and other dailies with due importance. So, we request your early attention in this matter. Thanking you.

I opted for The Franchising World magazine which i was supposed to get from March 2011, but till now i did not recieve anything from them. IT looks like company is cheating people in the name of 1 year subscription and getting views for thier exhibition and neglecting them once they come. Company feels that individual will not complaint for small amount like rs 300 and cheating most of the participants. Individuals people remember that from 1 person its only rs 300 but if they cheat thousands of people in the same way they collect huge amount. sunil surabhi Thu, 14 Apr 2011 21:30:45 http://www.clientcomplain.com/outlook_magzine-Complains-15462-SC.html OUTLOOK Complaints - Subscription No.133239 for Outlook Magazine View all OUTLOOK complaints OUTLOOK Posted:28 March Pradeep Kumar Mago Send Mail Subscription No133239 for Outlook Magazine Sir, Sub: Subscription 133239 for Outlook magazine Outlook magazine has made a subscription offer wherein with an assured gift for 3 years subscription and general prize for lucky winners.

After checking the status from the gift department, she told me that as the Accord Mobile Phone is not in stock it will take 3 to 4 weeks time to receive the same mobile at my end.

As nothing was coming up from them about the proof of delivery as promised in their email in 5-6 working days, I spoke on their helpline 18001800100, and on Mr. Tara attended at 4.00 p.m. and told me that the gift of “accord mobile phone” was returned back as the courier did not locate the address; and asked for the landmark of the building. (incidentally our building is the landmark in our area) I gave him the landmark as in our building on 1st floor, is offices of “Lijjat Papad”, and have big advertising boards on 1st floor; and he told me that it will take 10 to 15 days for the delivery. On 7th February 2011 after waiting for more than 15 days as promised, I rang up 18001800100 and one Ms. Lalita at 4.25p.m. attended the call, who again verifying with the gift section, told me that as the gift of “accord mobile phone” is out of stock it will again take 3 to 4 weeks. On asking to talk to higher authority she gave me an email id as anuj.srivastav@intoday.com. (what a policy?

Indian government is asking Media (News paper) to participate in Corruption Prevention and giving many benefits to the Media. We are here to bring it to your notice about the news papers in Visakhapatnam, which are encouraging bribe and corrupting the various government departments viz. DAVP, Railways, electricity board, Vizag Steel, Municipal office, Mandal offices to benefit themselves and to loot govt./public money. We hope you have 10 minutes of time to understand how the public money (Your money) is getting loot by the Fraud Media person and how the poor formers are harassed with power & money. Kindly take the responsibility to prevent, fight with the corruptive media person and also save poor and middle class formers from this corruptive business man. The managing director of Vijayabhanu daily is having assets worth of 70 crore rupees as per market value, who was not owning a house 20 year back. Yearly 80 lakhs of govt. /public money is getting loot by Vijayabhanu daily M.D thru the fraud news paper. Asset Details of B.Chandrasekhar: Ø 50 acres land in Tagarapalasa near Vizag, on the way to Vijayanagaram (Market value 20 crores) Ø Vijayabhanu Building-Vijayabhanu press + Royal Residency, Pithapuram colony (Market value 15 crores) Ø A Luxurious guest house near Beemily in 2 acres land near Vizag (Market value 10 crores) Ø A Hotel in Prakasarao peta, Vizag (Vijayabhanu Hotel – Market value 20 crores or above) Ø A luxury Duplex House and two luxury Cars (Market value 2 crore or above) Ø 40 acres mango farm lands with guest house in Nethakuppam village near Tirupathi, A.P. (Market value 2 crores) Ø 2 Flats in Hyderabad and Plots on benamies in Vizag (on his wife brother) and many more. Ø Gold and Silver Ornaments – worth of 1 crore or above. Complete Details about Fraud News Paper Business: Any News paper will earn money from government advertisements. The amount for government ads will be decided by the DAVP (Directorate of advertising & Visual publicity) basing on the circulation of the news paper per day. The news paper Vijayabhanu daily head quartered in Visakhapatnam shows 60,000+ news paper circulations to DAVP, but they print only max 2000 news papers per day to circulate in various government offices to show that the advertisement given by them is published and should give more advertisements to our news paper. As the responsible government individuals in DAVP are bribed with a share of 40 & 60 percent on every advertisement (40% as bribe and 60% to publication), there is no one to bother at all on the circulation and priority for giving advertisements to these fraud news paper is more as everyone is getting benefitted. As this news paper is established with necessary technical requirements, in case of riding by DAVP vigilance, they print 60,000 papers and transport them to godown for that day or two. Now this publication slowly established their branches in other small towns of A.P. viz Vijayawada, Srikakulam, Kakinada, Karimnagar, Warangal, Rajamundry, Tirupathi etc. showing circulation of 15000 news papers per day so as to increase their income thru this corruptive publication business. Paper will be printed in Vizag having future date (next day’s date) on the paper and sent to the mentioned branches by bus/train to circulate in necessary government offices, so that no one can question why paper is late or not delivered. But officially there will be an agreement with the local printer to handle vigilance rides and for documentation purpose to get registered with DAVP/PCI. After some years slowly the new branches will also become 60,000 circulation and then loot money in crores. As said above, though the respective department knows about this fraud business, the managing director of this news paper, maintain it by bribing concerns in DAVP & PCI. If any official refuses to take bribe and don’t favor them, then as shown in movies the managing director of publication will impact their personal lives. The same bribe policy (40-60 percent share) is successfully implemented in Railways, Vizag Steel, electricity board and various departments of government to get the advertisements. All the money earned thru this fraud news paper business is black money and this will be converted to white money by showing the fake income certificates from Farm lands. This is again by bribing respective MRO of the Mandal. Also several lakh rupees were given as gift money to managing director and family by the person who is a rice ration card holder (the servant of news paper M.D or relatives) So that the black money will be converted into white and no need to pay tax and show source of income to government. With this black money, they are buying weapons (rifles) and becoming as dons of Vizag, Black mailing poor formers if they are not intended to sell their forming lands to these corruptive media persons. Apart from the above, this fraud news paper is getting benefits from government in various forms like free land for publication (by making poor house less- this is so pity on humanity), loans at very low interest rates as part of encouragement to small scale industries. Multi story buildings are constructed in the land given by government and created lodges, rented to other business (this is another way to convert the black money to regular money).The loan amount with less interest rate taken from government., will be used in micro financing at very high interest rates and harassing middle class and poor people if they are unable to repay in different ways. Can’t government take action on this fraud news paper business and save public money as well as poor and middle class farmers from the corruptive media person??? We hope the government authorities can easily prove that the Vijayabhanu news paper headquartered in Vizag doesn’t have the circulation of 60000+ papers per day and it is a fraud news paper looting public money. Please take action on M.D of Vijayabhanu and save public money, middleclass people from him. Also recover the assets earned thru the fraud business. Guys add your comments as well and provide your support, to save our Nation and participate in building corruption free India.

IT IS NOT THE PROBLEM WITH THE LOCAL DISTRIBUTING AGENT BUT IT IS A BUSINESS TECHNIQUE BEING USED BY THE PUBLISHERS. matta ravikumar Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:49:49 http://www.clientcomplain.com/THE_HINDU_NEWS_PAPER-Complains-6169-SC.html RESPECTED SIR, I HAD SUBSCRIBED FOR HALF YEAR PLAN(6 MONTHS) ON 13-11-2009 & RENEWED ON 22-05-2010.

RAJAN PAL SINGH Fri, 13 Aug 2010 17:38:39 http://www.clientcomplain.com/india_today-Complains-6033-SC.html I took a 2 yr subscription of Prevention magazine about aug 09. Since the very beginning the delivery of the magazine has been pathetic with them missing dates on months together. When i have contacted them the reason i have got every time is shortage of magazines and that they would check with the postal authorities. As a consolation they would increase the tenure by another month. Please tell me does postponing the date of something that does'nt reach you a solution. I am suggesting to all not to subscribe to any magazine through India Today RAJAT KHETARPAL Fri, 13 Aug 2010 12:11:34 http://www.clientcomplain.com/usha_mittal-Complains-5627-SC.html The 2nd last page of panjab kesri news peper is daily full of durty picture.this is the matter of very shame.Pls stop it. thanking you Usha mittal Narwana 126116 usha mittal Sat, 07 Aug 2010 01:25:40 http://www.clientcomplain.com/Conde_Nast_GQ_Magazine-Complains-4715-SC.html Conde Nast GQ Magazine offer Subsceibed - sent chq. Jan 2010 Received confirmation 5th. FEB 2010 25th. May - sent complaint- Promised Gift not received. 8th. July sent reminder - NO reply, NO responce, NO gift. Complete Apathy once they have the money. Subscription Scam - They solicit subscriptions - once they receive the money, they develop a total disregard for the subscriber - repeated mails and requests go unanswered. Maybe they feel coming to a third world country like India they can treat the people with complete apathy - they would never get away with this behavior in the west - A shame that they are allowed to adopt this attitude here.

The news paper vendor/distributor of this area does irregular delivery/charges for all days,also gives incomplete supplements, & worst of all is his arrogant/rude/goonda like behavior.News papers taken by us are Times of India Hindustan Times, Business Line, Economic times,dainikjagran, bhaskar & many magazines.We even spoke to another person but he threatened that person,& told him not to deliver....WHAT SORT OF GOONDAISM/MONOPOLY IS IT?

Rukhsana Abidi Sat, 10 Jul 2010 11:40:26 http://www.clientcomplain.com/India_Today_Hindi_weekly_magazine-Complains-3361-SC.html My subscription no.ITHUP 1870137 for 2 years is not being honoured by the India Today group. They have not delivered the last three issues dated 30.06.2010, 07.07.2010 and 14.07.2010 despite numerous complaints through mail. They are not even informing the status of my subscription whether it is due for renewal. In fact they are not even responing to my mails. This is very disgraceful for a company like India Today group. Sanjeev Kumar Jha Thu, 08 Jul 2010 21:57:32 http://www.clientcomplain.com/Bennett_Coleman_and_Company-Complains-3072-SC.html I had paid the annual subsription for The Times of India and Maharashtra Times in the months of September 2009, however since then the delivery of the news papers has become very much irregular. The Vendor code is 21485688 and the name is Balgovind Sing. I had to spend more on making the calls to delivery person and the Bennett Coleman and Company does not seem to control any such incidence since they have already received the entire money for the year.

I paid through my ICICI Credit card on the same day over the telephone.The ordre # was 7770051158. However, Inspite of several calls to them and also emails I am yet to receive books from them. Every time I call them it takes minimum 25 minutes to get connected to a human voice. On every call I was assured that the books were out of stock and would be delivered soon . They also responded to my emails in the month of march and assured me that the books would be delivered soon. However they are yet to deliver. I have spent more than double the money by way of phone calls to them and interest acured on the credit card purchase that I made. I now seek help from. I dont want the books anymore as I would not like to do business with an unethical company, that preaches something and practices just the opposite I want the company to pay back the initial money Rs498/- that I paid to them along with the interest that I paid to ICICC bank credit card, the telephone charges that I incurred in contacting them several times and compensation for harassment for the last 10 months. I anticipate your support.
