Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) has been executing the 7th Population and Housing Census digitally for the first time in the history country, with census field operations commencing from 1st March, 2023 and have continued till 4th April, 2023 without any interruption.
It is a great pleasure for the nation and a tremendous achievement that data of 95% listed households has been successfully collected within the stipulated timeframe through tablets across the country with only 5% census field work left either in big-blocks, blocks where census work started with some delay due to logistic arrangements or was withheld for a couple of days due to some technical glitches.
In order to complete the leftover census work, a proposal from Provincial Census Commissioners was solicited requesting for more time to complete the leftover work.
Keeping in view the proposal of the PCCs, Chief Census Commissioner has extended the date to complete the remaining work to ensure 100% coverage by 10th April, 2023.
In case enumerators have not visited, all citizens of Pakistan are being requested to inform PBS using the toll free number is 0800-57574 which will be functional 24/7.
The citizen can also send their complete address through SMS on 9727 for lodging complaints of non-coverage.
They can also visit or contact PBS Reginal Offices or the 495 Census Support Center established at the tehsil level for registering their complaints regarding non-coverage.
