By The Punjab government has announced that mobile and internet services will be suspended across the province on September 22, according to ARY News. This measure aims to prevent cheating during the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT), which will be held in 12 districts, including Lahore, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Faisalabad, Multan, Bahawalpur, and D.G. Khan.
Internet services will be disabled within a 500-meter radius of test centers, where approximately 82,500 candidates are expected to participate. In preparation for the exam, Section 144 has been imposed in these cities to ensure a secure testing environment.
The restrictions include allowing only candidates and supervisory staff inside exam centers, while unrelated individuals will be prohibited from approaching within 100 yards. Protests and demonstrations near the exam venues will also be banned to prevent any disruptions or external assistance to the candidates.
