BC Commission alleges GHMC skipped many households in Telangana caste census
The Telangana Commission for Backward Classes (BC) has raised concerns about the incomplete caste census conducted in Hyderabad, specifically within the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) area. The Commission alleges that the survey, conducted between November 6 and December 25, 2024, failed to reach a significant number of households, particularly in urban areas. This has resulted in a lower recorded percentage of Backward Class population in the region. The Commission has requested an investigation into the matter and has sought specific data from the GHMC regarding the population, households, and survey coverage within the area. The Commission's actions stem from complaints received from residents claiming they were missed during the survey and reports of enumerators failing to visit certain parts of the city. They aim to use the requested information to further investigate the discrepancy and take appropriate action.02:49 PM Feb 08, 2025 IST
