The design of the roundabout comprises of a pair of Brahmaputra river dolphins engulfing the rings of prosperity and development, resting on the logo of Brahmaputra Cracker and Polymer Limited, symbolizing BCPL’s aspirations to flourish through prosperity and development of the region. The pair of leaves and a bud with a couple of White Winged ducks (Asarcornis Scutulata)-the state bird of Assam, flying across, throws light on the historical significance of the tea city of Dibrugarh, nestled in the southern bank of the Brahmaputra.
