The company has blamed breach of contract terms and non-payment of dues for the decision. It implies that the CPRL can no longer use McDonald's name, system, trademark, design, and associated intellectual property, among other things. The decision will affect thousands of workers at the McDonald's outlets. "Today, we have issued the CPRL board a notice of termination of the franchise agreement between McDonald's India Private Limited and the CPRL for 169 restaurants operated by the CPRL in north and east India," the fast food chain statement read. "This is a completely contemptuous, malafide, and yet another oppressive act indulged in by the McDonald's," Bakshi said, adding that the CPRL was considering appropriate legal remedies to counter the notice.
