Farmers' protest: Five Wi-Fi hotspots installed at Singhu Border

NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party MLA and co- in-charge for Punjab Raghav Chadha on Wednesday installed first five

Wi-Fi hotspots

at

Singhu Border

to allow free internet services and better network for the farmers agitating against three farm laws for over a month.

More hotspots are being installed for stronger and wider coverage. The hotspots offer unlimited data for the farmers.


The

Arvind Kejriwal government

decided to install Wi-Fi hotspots at the Singhu border after several farmers complained about poor connectivity. “We had received complaints from several farmers that due to poor connectivity and reception at Singhu border, they were unable to stay connected with their families, they were unable to make video calls,” Chadha said.

Chadha said on the basis of feedback from farmers about specific places at Singhu with poor reception, some WiFi hotspot areas had been identified where the hotspots will be installed. “If similar demands come from the Tikri border, we will extend this facility there as well. Better connectivity will enable the farmers' access to social media to give a befitting answer to BJP leaders who have been spreading fake news about them. In addition, they will be able to make as many video calls with their loved ones as they want,” Chadha said.
