KMRL’s very popular and much-loved flying baby elephant has been officially named ‘Milu’. Derived from Ancient Slavic elements, ‘Milu’ means ‘dear’ and ‘gracious’. Kochi Water Metro’s mascot too got a name: Jengu. The blue and gold ornamental fish, modelled on the endangered ‘Miss Kerala’ Red Line Torpedo Barb, has been named after the water-spirit ‘Jengu’, which, according to the Sawa ethnic groups in Cameroon, is a symbol of good luck, healing and protection. The names, which were unanimously chosen at the KMRL board meeting, was announced on 19 December 2019.
