Census advanced in four poll-bound States, deferred in Manipur
The Union government has advanced the Census enumeration schedule in four poll-bound states — Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Haryana, and Jammu & Kashmir — to complete population counting before their upcoming assembly elections. Meanwhile, the Census exercise in Manipur has been deferred due to ongoing protests and demands for implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC). This decision highlights the political sensitivity of demographic data collection and its intersection with electoral timelines and ethnic tensions.
