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.

It should be a standard procedure or an ordinary by-poll but what's the hype on the media? Why are channels running 24x7 coverage on the election to a tiny assembly segment which has always voted in the same way? Why are ministers and MLAs from all sides spending extra time campaigning? What will be the impact of the elections? If not for results, what will be the implications of the election?  Answers to all the questions will be included here.
