File | Photo Credit: The Hindu The Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India (RG&CCI) has directed the Census Directorates in States to “monitor social media narratives round the clock” to flag propaganda and false narratives against the ongoing Census exercise. The first phase of Census 2027 – the House Listing and Housing Operations (HLO) – kicked off on April 1 in eight States and Union Territories. Prior to that, the RG&CCI had launched a self-enumeration portal. The online enumeration will be followed by a door-to-door visit by the Census enumerators from April 15 where the details will be verified.
