Country is running on adhocism, says SC

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) on Wednesday set aside orders for regularising sanitary staff in Sheikh Khalifa bin Zaid hospital.

Justice Gulzar Ahmad remarked all the institutions in the country have become spoiled. The system of entire country is running on adhocism.
