“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.
A uniform colour has been finalised for the government buildings after holding discussions with different departments, the state’s Works Minister Prithiviraj Harichandan told reporters here.
The Odisha government will go ahead with the painting exercise after the monsoon season, he said.
Government buildings in the eastern state do not sport a uniform colour at present.
