Measures to be taken to construct huge markets like KR Market: DCM Dr. G Parameshwar
Bengaluru: We are thinking to take measures to build KR Market-like huge markets at Mysuru Road, Tumkur Road, and Hosur Road; informed Urban Development Minister Dr. G Parameshwar.
He was addressing the media after conducting the inspection of various places in KR Market on Thursday morning.
Most of the traders in the KR Market are trading without paying the rent. The building, which was constructed for trades, is not being used and it is remained locked. I have instructed the authorities to use that space for parking or other purposes. The market is completely messed up. There is nothing in the right way. The authorities here have been found to be more negligent. The negligence of the authorities is visible here, the minister noted.
KR Market always looks crowded as lakhs of people visit here every day. I will hold discussions with the concerned authorities to construct the same sort of markets at various places in the city to facilitate the people.
Mayor Gangambike, Deputy Mayor Rameela Umashankar, City Police Commissioner Sunil Kumar, and others were present.
Officer suspended
During the visit, Parameshwar asked the market DC Munilakshmi that the shops constructed inside the market belong to which department? The minister became angry when Munilakshmi did not have the information. “What are you doing? Why you must remain in the position if you do not know the properties of your department,” he snubbed the DC. He also informed the media that the officer was suspended.
Halt to ‘meter interest’ business
I too know that the ‘meter interest’ business is being run in the market. The authorities have been ordered to bring this business of charging exorbitant interest rates to a halt, Parameshwar informed.

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.
