The seventh census was a crucial exercise that would provide vital information about the demographic, social, and economic characteristics of the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This data would be used to make informed decisions about public policy, infrastructure development, and resource allocation. The committee also emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety and security of census workers. All workers have been provided with official identification cards and other necessary equipment to conduct their work effectively.
