Varanasi Ghats Get Two Free Wi-Fi Spots
The ancient ghats of Varanasi along the river Ganga - Sheetla and Dashvashmegh - were linked to wi-fi internet connectivity Sunday.

The project was mooted by BSNL after Prime Minister Narendra Modi was elected as the MP from Varanasi last year, sources said, and the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), soon after the approval of Modi, began monitoring the project as a "priority one".
After kickstarting the wi-fi facility at the two ghats, the minister also announced that the facility would be extended to the other ghats - Rajendra Prasad, Man Mandir, Manikarnika, Tripurabhairavi, Lalita and Meer ghat - by the end of March this year.
He added that under the 'Digital India' mission of the prime minister, e-health, e-education and e-commerce facilities would soon be made available to villages across India.
