The Census of India 2027 will implement special arrangements to count military personnel and Central Armed Police Forces in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.
The Census of India 2027 is set to adopt specific protocols for counting military personnel and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) in the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. These special arrangements aim to ensure accurate demographic data collection in regions with a significant security presence.
According to reports from the Daily Excelsior, these measures are part of the broader planning for the upcoming decennial census. The inclusion of armed forces under special categories is a standard practice in sensitive border areas to maintain security while conducting the survey.
The census operation will require coordination between civil authorities and military commanders to facilitate the counting process in designated areas. This approach ensures that the data reflects the resident population accurately without compromising operational security.
