After landing in hot waters with his party for writing to Congress MPs seeking to mobilise them against the caste-Census, Union minister of state for home, Ajay Maken on Tuesday “took stock of the ongoing house-listing and Census enumeration exercise in New Delhi”. The MoS undertook an “on-the-spot, in field interaction with Census officials, enumerators and people in general” in the R.K. Puram area of New Delhi.

Mr Maken expressed satisfaction over the work on National Population Register (NPR) and Census enumeration exercise, noting that data collection has been completed in several states and Union Territories like Assam, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Orissa, Kerala, Karnataka, Gujarat among others.
He said the process was about to be completed in Andhra Pradesh and Tripura and in case of West Bengal, while it had been completed in most areas, the dates had been extended upto June 30, 2010 for some areas in the state. Mr Maken appealed to the people to retain the slips given to them after having submitted the filled up Census forms since it would be needed during the time of NPR exercise involving bio-metric identification by means of fingerprint impression, iris impression and photograph of individual.
“It was reported that people were not amply informed about the importance of this slip and the procedural delays that its loss may cause. The minister instructed Census officials and enumerators to inform the people accordingly,” a statement here said.
