The self-enumeration process will continue from May 1 to May 15, after which house listing and housing census will be conducted from May 16 to June 14 through door-to-door visits by enumerators.

Officials briefed the Chief Minister on the online registration process and the implementation plan. Administrative preparations for the exercise have begun across districts.
