Hyderabad: Telangana commission for backward classes chairman G Niranjan in his letter to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) commissioner, K Ilambarithi alleged that the caste census has not been properly conducted in Hyderabad.
He questioned why enumerators skipped home visits in certain areas, leading to the exclusion of some BC individuals from the survey.
He added that due to this negligence, some residents of GHMC areas were left out, lowering the recorded percentage of Backward Classes in urban Hyderabad. “We demand clarity from GHMC on the execution of the survey in the city and its outskirts,” Niranjan said in his letter.
