The Trichy Corporation will launch public Wi-Fi hotspots across the city as part of the ‘Smart City’ programme to bridge the digital divide and to encourage residents in using information and communication technology (ICT) enabled services, including digital grievance redressal platforms. The civic body is now undertaking preliminary studies to identify suitable hotspots covering all 65 wards.
Addressing an interactive session with various residents welfare associations (RWAs) on Saturday, corporation commissioner N Ravichandran said, “Soon, the entire city will be covered under Wi-Fi hotspots through which people can utilise internet services free of cost for the first 30 minutes. After the free usage, user will be charged.”
The Wi-Fi service will be established as a part of smart city mission to encourage residents to connect with the civic body for registering complaints as well as to serve as an amenity for tourists visiting the city.
“There will a smart pole in which a LED light, Wi-Fi router and a CCTV will come as a set. The routers will be placed in such a manner that the entire city would get public internet service,” the commissioner told TOI.
Representatives of RWAs were told about the zero wet waste initiative of the civic body aimed at encouraging residents to recycle biodegradable waste either as biofertilizer or biogas.
The initiative would reward residents with ₹1,000 worth gift voucher from a private textile unit here if the house was found recycling wet waste by self instead of handing over them to corporation.
“We have planned to host an exhibition showcasing the possible methods to recycle the domestic waste and produce energy from them. It will help residents and bulk waste generators to identify suitable and affordable model for recycling the waste,” the commissioner added.
