Manipur Census 2027 postponed following NRC implementation demands
The Manipur state administration announced that the central government has opted to delay the 2027 Census in the state, a choice made during a session led by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. This move follows public pressure to prioritize the execution of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) before starting the census process. The initial stage of the census was originally set to run from September 1 through September 30.
