Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced on Tuesday that the government will “very soon” make an official declaration regarding the country’s decadal census, which has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Addressing a press conference to mark the completion of 100 days of the NDA government’s third term under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shah responded to a question about the delayed census, stating, “We will announce it very soon. We will make all the details public when we announce the census.” Shah was joined by Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw during the briefing, where they discussed various accomplishments of the government during its current tenure.
