ISLAMABAD: In the wake of lingering controversies over the last population census held in 2017 and for making the next exercise error free, the government has constituted a high-powered committee with the mandate to recommend measures for holding the upcoming census exercise through adoption of latest technologies and supervising/monitoring to minimise omissions/errors.
The government constituted this committee comprising 12 members with Deputy Chairman Planning Commission Dr Mohammad Jehanzeb Khan in the chair for deliberating upon five terms of references (TORs) for conducting the next population census. The period of upcoming census might be reduced from envisaged timeline of 10 years but it is just a suggestion at the moment.
