Delhi officials announced that over 95% of the houselisting operations for Census 2027 have been completed, covering 44,435 of the 45,791 House Listing Blocks (HLBs) in the city. The ongoing exercise, which began earlier this year, includes detailed questionnaires about housing conditions, ownership, and amenities. Notably, Northeast Delhi, which has the highest number of HLBs, has reported almost complete coverage. The exercise is set to conclude on June 15, 2023, after which the population enumeration will take place in February 2027. Officials have noted that the ongoing heatwave has created challenges for field teams, particularly in densely populated urban areas. To mitigate risks, enumerators have been advised to work during cooler hours and to adhere to heat-safety guidelines. The administration is urging residents to assist enumerators during this critical data collection phase, which is essential for future planning and resource allocation.
