Govt Buildings In Odisha To Be Painted In Orange With Red Borders

Bhubaneswar, Oct 7: The BJP government in Odisha has decided to change the colour of government buildings and offices across the state to shades of orange and red, officials said on Monday.

The exterior walls will be painted orange with red borders, they said.

Works Department Special Secretary Lakshmi Kanta Padhi has written a letter to the engineer-in-chief of different wings, MD of the Odisha Bridge & Construction Corporation Ltd (OB&CC) and all chief engineers under the department in this regard on Monday.

“I am directed to communicate the approval of the government to adopt uniform colour code henceforth for all new government buildings as well as existing government buildings at the time of periodical repair/renovation work,” Padhi wrote.

Currently, the government buildings in the State do not sport a uniform colour.
