In a letter to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, the Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) Friday requested him to suspend long march from 6am to 4pm on November 13 so that the students coming for Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) could easily reach their examination centres, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

The PMA told the PTI chairman that the MDCAT would be held across Punjab on November 13, adding that students and their parents were worried about how to reach the examination centers.
