Law is the fundamental way in which a nation-state survives. But often some of these laws are ignored both by those who implement these laws and those who are bound to follow them. They are as follows: Walking and crossing the railway tracks This is something that is pretty common across railway lines across India. Whether it be crossing at the railway stations or walking on tracks outside the stations as well.
