QUETTA: The Pakistan Army has restored five buses for Lasbela University of Agriculture, Water and Marine Sciences, fulfilling a long-standing demand by students, particularly female students, for improved transport facilities.
Sources said the Pakistan Coast Guards, a subsidiary force under the Pakistan Army, completed the repair and upgrade of the buses used by students traveling to the university in Uthal, located in Balochistan.
