See Taxonomy Parameters documentation - there is include_children parameter, which you can set to false in your taxonomy query.

try this

while($qry->have_posts()){
 $qry->the_post;
 foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
   //check if category have parent or not
   if ($category->category_parent == 0) {
   //your code goes here for post
 }
}
