NAGPUR: The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has delayed its own plan to give high speed internet and television facility to all houses by making available over 2,000km optical fibre cable network across the city. Instead, it has decided to permit Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL) to dig 400km roads to lay optical fibre cables, mostly in interior residential areas. The civic body continues to give permission to RJIL even though it has violated norms since 2015.
RJIL has submitted applications to lay optical fibre cables stretching over 400km at 80 locations, including some concrete roads.
