As per its vision to provide free wi-fi at markets in Delhi, the AAP government has decided to launch a pilot project for it for three months.
The government will launch the service at Sant Nagar Market area in north Delhi's Burari on March 15 and users will be able to download 50 MB data every day free of cost.
Delhi Dialogue Commission (DDC), an advisory body of the AAP government, has roped in a local vendor of Sant Nagar Market for providing the facility.
"The vendor is already providing wi-fi service which is chargeable as of now. It will now provide free wi-fi service for three months on a trial basis.
"If we get good response, we will move the project further," a senior government official said.
During this period, the service provider will not charge the Delhi government.
