ISLAMABAD: Under the Nust’s Internship Programme for International Students, foreign students from 26 countries took part in a tree plantation drive conducted at the university’s campus on Wednesday.

As many as 150 saplings were planted including pines, Jacaranda, Largestonia, Buddha, Weeping Willow and Fiddlewood, says a statement issued by Nust.
