About Queens Baton Relay


The Queen's Baton relay began when the baton, which contains Queen Elizabeth's message to the athletes, left Buckingham Palace on 29 October 2009. The Baton arrived at the 2010 Games opening ceremony on 3 October 2010, after visiting the other 70 nations of the Commonwealth and travelling throughout India, reaching millions of people to join in the celebrations for the Games. The Baton was designed by Michael Foley, a graduate of the National Institute of Design. It is a triangular section of aluminium twisted into a helix shape and then coated with coloured soils collected from all regions of India. The coloured soils are a first for the styling of a Queen's Baton. A jewel-encrusted box was used to house the Queen's message, which was laser-engraved onto a miniature 18 carat gold leaf representative of the ancient Indian patras. The Queen's baton is ergonomically contoured for ease of use. It is 664 millimeters high, 34 millimeters wide at the base, and 86 millimeters wide at the top and weighs 1,900grams. 4/22/12

Green Games The organisers signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the

United Nations Environment Programme to show the intention to host a "sustainable games" and to take the environment into consideration when constructing and renovating venues. Thyagaraj Stadium is intended to be a key example of environmentally-considered construction. In opposition to this intention, a number of environmental controversies arose and the adverse ecological impact of various aspects of the games have been protested by city residents. City residents filed a public interest petition to the Supreme Court of India against the felling of 'heritage' trees in the Siri Forest area to make way for Games facilities. The court appointed architect Charles Correa to assess the impact and he severely criticized the designs on ecological grounds. In spite of this, in April 2009 the Supreme Court allowed the construction on the grounds that "much time had been lost" and "the damage already caused to the environment could not be undone". The Commonwealth Games village, located on the flood plains of the Yamuna, has also been the subject of controversies about the flouting of ecological norms. After a prolonged legal battle between city residents and the state, construction was permitted to continue on the basis of an order of 4/22/12 the Supreme Court of India in July 2009, which held that the government had

Guidelines

Observe self discipline while on the roads.

All road users are expected to maintain the sanctity of the dedicated Games Lane, which is exclusively for Games related traffic. They should avoid getting into the dedicated lane and if inadvertently they enter the lane, they should immediately come out of it. The breach will invite a major penalty of Rs. 2,000 and/ or impounding of their vehicles of violators entering in the Games Lane.

You are advised to avoid, as far as possible, as these roads have only two lanes in one carriage way, one of which is reserved for Game related traffic.

Avoid unnecessary journeys during the Games period.

Give way to emergency vehicles, i.e., police vans, fire brigade vehicles, ambulance, etc.

Ban on marriage processions on roads to be strictly enforced during the 4/22/12 Games.
