The Kalaburagi railway station, formerly known as Gulbarga railway station, was repainted to white from green on Tuesday, after pressure from the right-wing Hindu organisation Hindu Jagaran Vedike.
The railway station came under scanner on Tuesday when sections of Hindutva groups protested outside the station demanding a change of colour.
According to them, the dome shape railway station with green walls gives an impression of a ‘mosque.’ They warned that if the green colour was not removed within 15 days, the total railway station would be painted in saffron colour.
Soon after the protest, scenes of painters repainting the walls of the station white were recorded.
