Free WiFi across Bengaluru within 6 months: DCM Parameshwar
Bengaluru, September 23: Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar said that within next six months, free WiFi facility would be provided across the city.
Inaugurating the BBMP Soudha, Atalji Sports Complex, free WiFi, Kempe Gowda statue and Prime Minister’s Janaushadha centre at Govindaraj Nagar here on Sunday, he said that free WiFi facility was provided in Govindaraj Nagar and in the same way, all 198 wards would be provided the facility. Because of the farsighted plans, Bengaluru city has identified itself in the world. More than any city planners and designers, Kempe Gowda had designed the Bengaluru town. Now, Bengaluru city has been growing so fast along with the development works, he said.
Optical fibre cables were laid across the city illegally and the government has been removing them. Strict decision was taken to collect tax in the city. The officials have been directed to collect Rs 2500 crore tax and steps were taken to accumulate the resources from other sources, he added.
Following the High Court direction, the flex and banners were removed in the city and on filling pot-holes on the roads, white tapping work was going on, he added.
MLA Somanna has appealed for 200-bed hospital at Govindaraj Nagar and shortly, the hospital would be sanctioned, he assured.
On the present political developments, Parameshwar said that the coalition government was safe in the state. But some leaders have been creating confusion among the people that the government would collapse. There was no need to worry about it. Instead of who was ruling the government, it was very important how fast and best the public works were being taken up, he said.
MLA V Somanna, Mayor Sampath Kumar and others were present.

Jharkhand horror: Man kills live-in partner, chops body into 40 pieces
Ranchi (PTI): A 25-year-old man, who works as a butcher, allegedly strangled to death his live-in partner and chopped her body into 40 to 50 pieces in a forested area in Jharkhand’s Khunti district, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, identified as Naresh Bhengra, was arrested.
The matter came to light after around a fortnight after the killing when a stray dog was found with human body parts near Jordag village in Jariagarh police station on November 24.
Bhengra was in a live-in relationship with the deceased, a 24-year-old woman also from Khunti district, in Tamil Nadu for the past couple of years. Sometime back, he returned to Jharkhand, got married to another woman without telling his partner anything and went back to the southern state without his wife to join her.
"The brutal incident occurred on November 8 when they reached Khunti as the accused who had married another woman did not wish to take her home. Instead, he took her to a forest near his house at Jordag village in Jariagarh police station and chopped the body into pieces. The man has been arrested," Khunti Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar told PTI.
Inspector Ashok Singh who investigated the case said the man worked in a butcher shop in Tamil Nadu and was expert in slicing chicken.
“He admitted chopping the body parts of the woman into 40 to 50 pieces before leaving those in the forest for wild animals to feast on. The police recovered several parts on November 24 after a dog in the area was seen with a hand," Singh told PTI.
Singh said that the woman, who was unaware of his marriage, pressured him to return to Khunti. After reaching Ranchi, they boarded a train on November 24 and headed to the man's village.
"Under a plan, the man took her to Khunti in an autorickshaw near his home and asked her to wait. He returned with sharp weapons and strangulated her with her dupatta after raping her. He then cut the body into 40 to 50 pieces and left for his home to live with his wife," Singh said.
The woman, however, had informed her mother that she had boarded a train and would be living with her partner, the police officer said.
Following the recovery of body parts, a bag was also found in the forest with the murdered woman's belongings including her Aadhaar card. The mother of the woman was called at the spot and she identified her daughter's belongings.
"The mother suspected the man behind the crime who after being nabbed by the police admitted to chopping the woman into pieces," the official added.
The incident has sent shockwaves among people in the region, with the Shraddha Walker murder case of 2022 still fresh in their memory.
Walker was killed by her live-in partner who chopped her body into pieces before dumping them in the jungle in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
