It is part of India`s $18 billion plan to extend information revolution in every nook and corner of the country. Varanasi is the first of an eventual 2,500 locations singled out for street-level Wi-Fi but faces a problem at various levels which includes crowded streets, shortage of power supply and the most unique one from the macaque monkeys. Hundreds of macaque monkeys which live in the city`s temple and are fed by the devotees. They destroy all the wires by eating the wires. They chewed them up the last time in less than two months. Varanasi got free wi-fi in February 2015.
