Bengaluru’s Govindaraja Nagara ward has become the first ward in the city to offer free WiFi to the public since the first week of September, Bangalore Mirror reported.
K Umesh Shetty, a BJP corporator has partnered with private internet service providers to enable this facility to a radius of about three kilometres. Every citizen will be allowed to use one GB of data per day. The users can be from anywhere, and it doesn’t restrict the usage to anyone.
Several residents have complained about the speed of the internet and accessibility issues that have persisted so far. Giving reassurance, Shetty has told that he is working on eliminating all the existing glitches in the system.
Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike is likely to extend free WiFi scheme to all the 198 wards of the city.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
