BENGALURU: Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Saturday claimed that it is a matter of great pride that Bengaluru has secured the first position among the safest cities in the country for women to live in, citing a report released by a Chennai-based consultant firm dealing in workplace culture and inclusion.
The claims of state Home Minister Parameshwara are likely to stir controversy against the backdrop of the alleged incident of stripping and assault on the BJP woman worker in Hubballi.
Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, he said that based on several parameters such as safety, technology and infrastructure, the firm released a list of the 'Best Cities for Women in India', in which Bengaluru has topped the list with a score of 53.29.
