Manipur MP warns census credibility amid nearly 60,000 displaced

Manipur's elected representative raised concerns that the displacement of close to 60,000 residents is creating an environment unsuitable for a trustworthy census. He emphasized that accurate population counting requires stability, and the present situation of large‑scale displacement could undermine data integrity. The remarks were made as the government readies for the upcoming national census, which aims to capture comprehensive demographic information across India. The MP urged authorities to address the displacement issue before the census proceeds, stressing that credible results depend on resolving the underlying humanitarian challenges.
