The event’s organiser, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), recently unveiled the logo for the occasion, which features a tricolour leaf design organised in a circle with the word “Ashoka 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,” CM Naveen Patnaik tweeted on Monday.
The CBI, which serves as the national central agency for India’s cooperation with Interpol, got the inspiration for its emblem from an Odisha temple with 24 unique wheels and 16 spokes that was fashioned out of stone.
There will be 195 countries’ worth of law enforcement representatives at the general assembly.
