What happened (core claim of the opinion)
The Indian Express opinion argues that regulation and day-to-day practice must evolve together over time, because rule changes work only when compliance is supported. The opinion stresses that modernization must be paired with training, clear accountability, and public interest protection.
Background and earlier position (why such gaps occur)
Regulatory systems often face a “rules-versus-practice” gap. Even after rules change, frontline actors may not apply them consistently if training is insufficient, responsibility is unclear, or oversight lacks strong accountability and evidence standards.
