AAP MLA visits Singhu Border to ensure WiFi facilities for farmers

Thursday, 31 December 2020 | Staff Reporter | NEW DELHI

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and MLA, Raghav Chadha on Wednesday visited the Singhu border to ensure proper installation and functioning of five free WiFi hotspots on the border for protesting farmers.

Chadha had yesterday announced that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will begin another 'sewa' for farmers at the Singhu border. The decision was made after several farmers had complained about poor connectivity and a bad network at the Singhu border.

“We had received complaints from several farmers that due to poor connectivity and reception at Singhu border, they were unable to stay connected with their families, they were unable to make video calls. Sewaadar Arvind KejriwalJi decided to do something about this, which is why as promised yesterday, we’ve begun the installation of free WiFi hotspots,” said Raghav Chadha.

Chadha also said that based on feedback from farmers with respect to places at Singhu with poor reception, some WiFi hotspot areas had been shortlisted.

“We would also like to tell our farmer brothers that similar Wifi will be installed at Tikri border. Better connectivity will enable the farmers' access to social media to give a befitting answer to BJP leaders who’ve been spreading fake news about them. In addition, they will be able to make as many video calls with their loved ones as they want,” said Chadha.

Talking about how the farmer movement is growing stronger by the day with farmers from across the country marching towards Delhi, Chadha said, “One can gauge the importance, the relevance of this movement from the fact that farmers from different parts of India are marching towards Delhi to fight for their rights,” said Chadha.

“This is a historic movement, and as you know, several farmer brothers have been living away from the warmth of their homes and their families for a long time. Their families will be concerned about them. Their friends would want to speak with them. They in turn would be eager to see the faces of their parents, spouses, and children. By installing free WiFi hotspots here at the Singhu border, we hope that despite the distance, our

farmer brothers may feel a little closer home,” said Raghav Chadha.
