K.R. Market vendors go on bandh over new parking arrangements

A view of K.R. Market in Bengaluru on Tuesday. | Photo Credit: SUDHAKARA JAIN The iconic K.R. Market in the heart of the city wore a deserted look on Tuesday, with empty carts, fewer customers, and an eerie silence at a place where the buzz never ends. The scene was the result of a bandh called by the Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha and Green Brigade (KRRSGB). The bandh was organised against the recent parking arrangements at K.R. Market, with protesters arguing that the changes have severely disrupted the functioning of the market and have affected farmers, traders, and street vendors. For many street vendors, the issue goes beyond logistics and directly threatens their livelihoods. They alleged that civic officials had asked them to vacate their original vending spots and relocate inside the market, which would also require them to pay more money.

Annamalai criticises NEET re-test arrangements

Annamalai, on Tuesday (June 16, 2026), said the approach devised for the NEET re-test might not resolve the issue and instead risks creating a new set of problems. In a social media post, Mr. Annamalai criticised the arrangements made by the Ministry of Education for the NEET re-test scheduled for June 21. “Every student would appreciate the government’s efforts to prevent paper leaks by implementing additional security measures and enhanced monitoring. But an increase in scrutiny before entry, extended frisking, and an increase in the overall exam time from 180 minutes to 195 minutes will only add to their already ballooning exam pressure,” Mr. Annamalai contended. While the government has taken measures to contain leaks, they have forgotten the additional burden they have imposed on a young student before they take up an assessment, one that they have spent months preparing for, dissolving the entire purpose of our exam system and the NEP 2020’s goal to reduce ‘exam stress’, he said. …
