Corporation restores free Wi-Fi at 44 locations in Chennai

CHENNAI: The Greater Chennai Corporation has restored free Wi-Fi facilities at 44 locations across Marina beach, Besant Nagar beach, and the Secretariat Park on Monday. Of the 44 locations, 27 are along Marina beach — between Labour Statue and Lighthouse — while five are at Besant Nagar beach and 12 at the Secretariat Park. The Wi-Fi poles weer installed five years ago and had eventually stopped functioning.

As part of the first phase, the corporation has taken measures to provide high-quality free Wi-Fi at high-footfall locations, including the Marina, Besant Nagar and Thiruvanmiyur beaches, the Secretariat Park, and other parks and sports grounds.
