After assuming office at Singha Durbar on Monday, Minister Kharel, in consultation with the communication secretary, decided to expand free Wi-Fi services across key urban areas.

While free Wi-Fi is already available in parts of Kathmandu and other major cities, Kharel pledged to extend the service further.
