Kolkata: New Town has got the first-of-its-kind smart solar bench having LED ambient lights with display and sound, 4G enabled hot spot, USB charging ports, temperature and humidity sensor and e-bicycle charging points. To be run on solar energy, the bench has been installed as a prototype and would be set up in other places in New Town if found viable and successful.
New Town Kolkata Development Authority (NKDA) chairman Debashis Sen who inaugurated the solar bench on Wednesday said this is a prototype which has been developed by a company which as of now will act as a proof of concept. “An NKDA team will look into how the prototype works to see if more such solar benches could be spread out across the township,” he said. The smart solar bench will be open for 24 hours for people to use free of cost.
