BANGALORE: Governor T.N. Chaturvedi on Monday unveiled the logo for the proposed Bangalore Metro. The logo was chosen from 400 entries in a competition. The logo in green and purple has the catchword "Namma Metro" and it represents the ambition of making the transport service dear to everyone, it was explained. The green in the logo represents the garden city while the purple represents technology and modernity while being easy to remember, it was said. Jayanth Jain and Mahendra of Else Design have developed the logo. The Governor felicitated them. Mr. Chaturvedi expressed happiness over the progress being made in implementing the metro rail project but pointed out that decision-making is not easy in democracy. "Words from some ... create distrust though not intended... But a sense of restraint is always called for," he said. It was a task to dispel such mistrust. Doing that required substantial steps, he said. He congratulated the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (BMRCL), the body implementing the project, and its Managing Director K.N. Srivastava for steering the project ahead. Earlier, Mr. Srivastava reiterated that the work on the metro rail will commence in the first week of April.
Clearance
The final clearance from the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs was expected in eight to 10 days. The meeting of the committee is expected to be held in New Delhi soon. He said the work will be completed in five years, but the first train on partially completed tracks will operate in three years time. Managing Director of KSRTC M.R. Sreenivasa Murthy was present.
