The Census Population Enumeration is scheduled to commence in Ladakh and snow‑bound Jammu & Kashmir regions this September, according to CPCO Amit.
Chief Parliamentary Census Officer (CPCO) Amit announced that the national census will be conducted in Ladakh and the snow‑bound areas of Jammu & Kashmir starting in September.
The enumeration will cover remote villages and high‑altitude settlements that have been largely inaccessible during the winter months. Enumerators will be deployed in stages, beginning with the more accessible districts before moving to the higher elevations.
The harsh winter conditions pose logistical challenges, but the census authorities have arranged for specialized training and equipment to ensure accurate data collection.
Accurate population figures from these regions are crucial for resource allocation, development planning, and representation in the national assembly.
