Covid-19 pandemic, snap polls cast a shadow of uncertainty over census

Covid-19 pandemic, snap polls cast a shadow of uncertainty over census from July 30 to October 1.

The decennial 12th national population census, which was earlier postponed to the next fiscal year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, still looks uncertain amid continued threat of the pandemic and planned mid-term parliament elections in November and the local elections, which are likely to be held in the following May.
