Reason There is no safety barrier not even in train stations. We are still living in colonial era. via DM Android App

You mean to put up safety barriers thru entire railway track? Where have you seen this in modern world?

The space between the last step and the platform is wide and we cannot forget the tragedy of one young man had both his legs severed from the thigh and later died as somebody in a mighty hurry pushed him under rhe train. via DM Android App

Death Has no Barriers! Especially when you decide to meet death! So dont you people talk about which countries have track barriers and which countries dont. The only point you are getting at is to show the world you have travelled abroad.
