Discipline among other virtues he said, are vital ingredients for the vibrant development for a prosperous, peaceful and happy nation we all cherish. Mogtari said that incidents of indiscipline runs through all sectors of our communities, in workplaces, market centres, and our family levels and even in our churches and mosques.
