BANGALORE: Krishna Rajendra Market is one of the biggest vegetable markets in the city but the filth and unhygienic conditions make visitors think twice before buying from there.

The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) constructed a new building more than a decade ago but it’s second and third floors are vacant till today.

Recently, more than 10 shops have come up illegally at a vacant plot at the market.

Flower and vegetable sellers are ready to do business from the second and third floors of the building but the BBMP officials are yet to take a decision.Ventilation trouble

There is plenty of space at K R Market for vendors but the BBMP has given permission to set up shops at the spaces left for ventilation.

Vendors at K R Market claimed that six months ago, there were four illegal flower shops at KR Market and now, six more have come up.

When the standing committee inspected the market in November, the flower vendors were brought to their notice but no action was taken.

There is also a rule that no shops be built at the open spaces left for ventilation but 10 shops came up at these places overnight.

Also, the BBMP allotted the shops and numbered them according to floors, like if a shop was in the basement, the number would be B 1, or if the shop was on the ground floor, the number will be G1. But there are shops in the market like 337 A, B, C, D, and 256 A, B, C, D, and 233 A, B.
