“Any home where there is no rules and regulations, you will be breeding miscreants that may end up terrorising the community.”
The legal luminary noted that institutions whether private or public are governed by sets of rules for smooth operations to achieve its desire targets.
The SAN emphasised that Rotary club has continued to operate within its framework of touching lives and infrastructural development.
