However, the service has been going through a testing phase and there's no certainty on when the commercial roll out will finally happen.
The service will initially be offered in 1,100 cities and aims to reach around 50 million homes. Apart from the metro cities, it is expected to hit several tier 1 and tier 2 cities like Agra, Allahabad, Bengaluru, Bhopal, Chennai, Chandigarh, Guwahati, Ghaziabad, Indore, Lucknow, Ludhiana, Madurai, Nagpur, Nashik, Patna, Pune, Ranchi, Raipur, and Thane among many others.

|  | This Forgotten Hyderabad Woman Was The World's First Female Anaesthesiologist!
She lived in times when basic education- let alone a medical degree- was considered a far-fetched dream for women in India. And while we may not know a lot about the personal life of Dr Rupa Bai Furdoonji, her contribution to the field of anaesthesia is widely acknowledged both in India and abroad.
Furdoonji's tryst with the medical field began in her hometown at the Hyderabad Medical School (HMS), in the erstwhile capital city of the Nizam's dominion in the South. The medical school or Osmania Medical College as it is known now was set up by the fourth Nizam, Nasir-ud-Daulah in 1846. During his reign, the Nizam focused on getting men, as well as women, enrolled in the medical field.

|  | The world's biggest ship-breaking town is under pressure to clean up
How do you make a 10,000-tonne container ship disappear? At Alang, a small town in Gujarat, on the western coast of India, it happens regularly. At roadside stalls on its outskirts, shopkeepers sell furniture together with lifeboats; washing machines alongside emergency flares. Nearer the town, stalls give way to warehouses and enormous open-air yards; cranes stretch to the horizon. Ships that look like Lego sets being dismantled sit on a stretch of beach.
Alang is the world's biggest ship-breaking town. Almost a third of all retired vessels - at least 200 each year - are sent to be broken up here, at over 100 different yards stretching along 10km of sand. The industry employs some 20,000 people, almost all men who migrate from the poorer states of India's northern Hindi-speaking belt. Taxes paid by breakers generate huge sums for the state government. Yet it is a dangerous industry for its workers and a filthy one in environmental terms.

|  | China to complete artificial sun device this year: official
China plans to complete the construction of the artificial sun this year, achieving an ion temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius, an official has said.
The HL-2M Tokamak device is designed to replicate the nuclear fusion process that occurs naturally in the sun and stars to provide almost infinite clean energy through controlled nuclear fusion, which is often dubbed as the "artificial sun."
Achieving an ion temperature above 100 million degrees Celsius is one of the three challenges to reach the goal of harnessing the nuclear fusion, and the core of the sun is widely believed to be 15 million degree Celsius, meaning that the ion at the device's core will be seven times higher than that of the Sun, Duan Xuru, an official of the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) was quoted as saying by the state-run Global Times.
