Training sessions for Census 2027 have officially kicked off in various districts, aimed at preparing staff for the upcoming house-listing process. A control room has been established to ensure a smooth conduct of the census activities.
However, issues have arisen with staff attendance, as 53 individuals have been marked ‘dies-non’ for census duty lapses, with actions pending against 527 absentees in Bengaluru North. These developments raise questions about the readiness for the upcoming census.
