Wi-Fi service starts in Khan Market, CP to follow soon

‘The Wi-Fi facility in Khan Market started a few days ago. It is running successfully,’ O P Mishra, who is handling the project, said.
The visitors can avail the facility by filling in details such as e-mail ID and mobile number. After that, a one-time password (OTP) will be received to connect to the internet.
After the free usage time is exhausted, the user will have to do a recharge using scratch cards which will be available at various shops in the area. Though the project is running successfully in Khan Market, the civic agency is facing some problems regarding it in Connaught Place.
‘CP being a large area, we cannot connect the service from pole to pole, as we have done in Khan Market. Also, we decided to shift the cables and transmission wires inside the 1.2 km long utility tunnel in CP, so that the display of the market doesn’t look ugly,’ Mishra said.
However, service providers Tata Docomo and Vodafone, who have partnered with NDMC to provide the facility, have assured the civic agency that the Wi-Fi facility will start in Connaught Place
by the end of this month.
