Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has thanked the CBI for making the wheel of the 13th century Konark temple the logo of the Interpol general assembly slated to be held in India next month.
The logo unveiled recently by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is organising the event, shows a motif with tricoloured leaves arranged in a circular fashion with ‘Ashok Chakra’ in the middle.
“Filled with pride that @INTERPOL_HQ has unveiled the logo for 90th Interpol General Assembly to be held in New Delhi, inspired by intricately craved chariot wheels of #KonarkTemple. Thank CBI for conceiving the idea of featuring the iconic wheels for the international meet,” Naveen said in a Twitter post.
The CBI, which is the national central bureau for India to liaison with Interpol, conceived the idea of the logo from the stone-carved Odisha temple in the form of a chariot of Sun God with 24 individual wheels and 16 spokes.
The three-day Interpol assembly, to be attended by law enforcement officers from 195 countries, will start on October 18. The General Assembly is organised by each member country on a rotation basis every year. It was held in India in 1997.
