All the countries in the world have different laws, which have been made considering the civilization, culture and customs of the people there. Many laws are very strange and when people come to know about them, they get surprised. One such law (Ban on Death) is of a city, where the government has banned the death of people. If someone has to sacrifice their life, or people have to bury their loved ones, then they have to go about 2000 km away from that city. After all, where is this place…let us tell you.
The city of Longyearbyen, Norway is situated in the Arctic Circle. This place remains very cold. You will be surprised to know that the minimum temperature here goes up to -46 degrees and the maximum goes up to 3-7 degrees. In such a situation, you can understand how terrible the temperature here is. But because of this temperature this strange rule has been made.

The law was made in 1950
According to the report of Times of India, the Norwegian government had made this strange law in the year 1950, under which no one could die in this area, nor could dead people be buried. To do this, one had to travel to the mainland of Norway, which is 2000 km away. Now the question arises that why was such a rule made?
For this reason such a rule was made
Actually, due to extreme cold, this area is always covered with a thick sheet of snow. Because of this, when the dead body is buried here, the dead body does not rot and the skin also remains in its original form for years. It was found in reports that centuries old viruses and bacteria were found safe in that area. In such a situation, the danger to the people there may increase due to these viruses. This is the only reason why the government had made this rule and asked people to bury their dead bodies far away.
