KATHMANDU: Newly appointed Minister for Communication and Information Technology Jagadish Kharel has announced his first major decision: to provide free Wi-Fi in all seven provincial capitals and major cities within the next five months.

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.
