Mizoram's ongoing general census will include refugees from Myanmar and Bangladesh, as well as internally displaced persons from Manipur, officials have confirmed.
This inclusion aims to ensure accurate population enumeration rather than citizenship documentation, essential for resource allocation in the state.
Data collection commenced on April 1, with a digital platform offering options for self-enumeration. Phase two, launching next February, will gather detailed demographic information.
