Latest news today live updates: Security has been tightened and vigil increased across Karnataka ahead of the Wednesday's 'bhoomi pujan' for the new Ram temple in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya. As part of the security drill, a ban on the assembly of 5 persons or more has been issued under Section 144 of the CrPC from 6 am on Wednesday till midnight in all 30 districts of the state.

The central Intelligence Bureau (IB) had recently alerted all states against a terror attack to thwart the religious ceremony at Ayodhya and disruption in Independence Day celbrations on August 15.

Meanwhile, not satisfied with responses submitted by Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea on priority plans, regulator Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has shot off additional "technical" queries to both the telcos and asked them to explain their stand. Trai is scheduled to hear their explanations today.

The Trai wants the two companies to substantiate their claims that the contentious priority offerings, which are under the regulator's lens, have neither deteriorated experience of other network users nor violated any norms.
