Poor poured in from East wing through porous borders in search of work. Infiltrators from West bribed border guards. The characters of infiltrators from West and East Pakistan were different. Pakistan citizens from the West wing came with regular channels but overstayed to earn their bread as most found living conditions in India far better than their native land or preferred one. Infiltration in Kashmir was mostly of residents from the Pakistan occupied territory or meeting their relations but were gripped with urge to stay on.

On 22nd January 2021 the Treaty Prohibiting Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) will enter into force. With this the nuclear weapons will be delegitimised and declared illegal. Their use, launch, research, transfer of technology in any form will be illegal.

On June 15, 2020, actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his residence in Mumbai.
