Manipur's Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh emphasized the state government's commitment to conducting a transparent Census. This announcement comes as public voices grow louder demanding a postponement of the Census exercise due to apprehensions about identifying illegal immigrants.
The state government detailed plans to conduct the Census house-listing operations from September 1 to 30, with provisions for self-enumeration from August 17 to 31, 2023.
