Kolkata, July 27 -- The signage atop the state government's secretariat at 'Nabanna' was repainted in saffron, replacing the earlier blue colour.
A few days ago, Nabanna Sabhaghar was painted in saffron, soon after the BJP came to power in the state. The building itself, however, retains its blue-and-white colour exterior. Many believe that the secretariat building will also be painted saffron.
According to government sources, the change in the colour of the signage in Nabanna is part of ongoing maintenance works being undertaken at various government establishments.
There has been no official notification about repainting the entire Nabanna building, and no formal announcement has been made regarding a comprehensive change in the colour of the secretariat, sources added.
After coming to power in 2011, the Mamata Banerjee government shifted the state's administrative headquarters from the historic Writers' Buildings in central Kolkata to Nabanna in Howrah, where the blue-and-white colour scheme was prominently adopted.
