The Directorate of Census Operations, Karnataka, has introduced the dedicated phone line for citizens to lodge complaints or give suggestions. "They can inform us if they were not at home when the enumerators came calling. We are trying to cover 100% of the population. If people can volunteer, it would be really helpful," T K Anil Kumar, director, Directorate of Census Operations, Karnataka told.
The BBMP, too, has launched a helpline for census-related queries — 080-22975549. Till now, people used to call up the Palike's control rooms if they needed help. "But officials there receive general complaints as well. So, we thought of a separate helpline to keep track of the exercise," Anil Kumar explained. Till now, 60% to 65% of the city has been covered under the census drive. There are some wards where 100% census has been completed.
