Census 2027 Houselisting Extended to October 31 in Flood-Affected Assam Districts
The houselisting phase of Census 2027 in Assam's flood-affected Charaideo and Sivasagar districts has been extended until October 31, 2026, due to disruptions caused by recent floods. Originally scheduled from August 17 to September 15, the extension allows completion of preparatory activities paused amid flooding. The nationwide houselisting exercise runs from April to September 2026, followed by population enumeration in February 2027. The decennial Census was postponed from 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
