The 5G spectrum auction will begin on Tuesday with four players, including Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel, set to bid for 72 GHz of radiowaves worth Rs 4.3 trillion on offer. The bidding process is scheduled to start on Tuesday from 10 am and go on till 6 pm. The number of days of auction will depend on the actual demand for radiowaves and strategy of individual bidders, sources in the Department of Telecom said.

The Allahabad High Court will deliver its verdict on Tuesday on the bail plea of Ashish Mishra alias Monu, the son of Union Minister of State for Home minister Ajay Mishra, in connection with the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case. A bench of Justice Krishna Pahal had reserved its order on July 15 after completing the hearing. The Lucknow Bench of Allahabad High Court had granted bail to Ashish on February 10, 2022. But, later the Supreme Court cancelled the bail and directed the HC to decide his bail plea after affording adequate opportunity to the victim side.

Major roads in parts of Central, East, Northeast Delhi and its bordering areas may face traffic snarls on Tuesday as kanwariyas would return to their native places through the national capital, police said. The traffic movement in Central Delhi is also likely to be affected due to Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's questioning by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the National Herald newspaper-linked money-laundering case. The Kanwar yatra that kicked off on July 14, will conclude on July 26.
