The Lok Sabha passed the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026 by voice vote on 29 July 2026. The Bill seeks to strengthen the existing anti-paper leak law by introducing stricter punishments, faster investigations and trials, and stronger measures against organised examination fraud. It comes in the wake of nationwide protests following repeated paper leaks, especially the NEET controversy

In July 2026, thousands of migrants attempted to enter Ceuta, a Spanish autonomous city located on the northern coast of Africa. Most migrants came from Morocco and Sub-Saharan African countries, attempting to cross either by swimming around coastal barriers or by breaching the heavily fortified border fence separating Morocco from Ceuta.
The sudden influx overwhelmed Spanish authorities, prompting Spain to deploy additional police and military personnel to restore order. The crisis resulted in several deaths and injuries, making it one of the deadliest migration incidents on Europe's southern frontier in recent years.
