With the Supreme Court deciding to defer the High Court verdict in the Ayodhya land title suit by five days, the Centre on Thursday decided to extend the ban on bulk SMS and MMS services across the country till September 29.
Government sources, meanwhile, were candid enough to admit that deferring of the verdict had "created a week of uncertainty" and "will raise anxiety levels related to the security of the (Commonwealth) Games".
Suspecting that "mischievous elements" could create tension and stoke passions in several "vulnerable areas" in the run-up to and after the verdict, the Centre reiterated that states must maintain a heightened state of security preparedness.
