Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti on Saturday announced a special grant of Rs1 billion for the Government Postgraduate Science College Quetta and expressed his determination to take the institution under his direct patronage.

He was speaking while visiting the Science College Quetta on Saturday.
