CMDA-ReIndia bury the hatchet

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Computer Media Dealers Association (CMDA) and ReIndia have mutually agreed to resolve the issue regarding the misuse of CMDA logo during the expo and the ill treatment meted out to association members by the organizers.

Puneet Singhal, President, CMDA stated that the controversy over the use of CMDA logo by ReIndia at the expo was raised because of a communication gap and both parties have agreed to bury the hatchet in the interest of the trade.

“The matter has been resolved. It happened because of a communication gap. ReIndia will provide us a free stall in their next exhibition and they will be using our logo. Further, ReIndia and CMDA will work jointly towards the betterment of recharge and recycling industry,” Singhal commented.

Commenting on the same, Virendra Chopra, Member of Organizing Committee, ReIndo Expo said, “We need support from the associations to promote the industry. We are also seeking government’s attention towards recycling industry that is aimed to be an environment friendly initiative. CMDA will get a free stall in the next expo ReIndia organizes and the latter will use the CMDA logo.”

ReIndia Expo will next be held in January 2010. Trade Expo India Promotions, main organizer of the expo, is also approaching Indian Cartridges Remanufacturers and Recyclers Association (ICRRA) in Mumbai to participate in the event.

It may be recalled that CMDA had withdrawn its participation from the expo held in March this year on the grounds of ill-treatment of its representatives and lack of cooperation from the organizing committee.
