Kerala won’t implement NPR, to conduct its own census

 

Siasat:The State Cabinet has decided to inform the Registrar General of India and Census Commssioner that Kerela will carry out its own census and will not implement the National Population Register (NPR), said Kerala Finance Minister Thomas Isaac on Monday.

Talking about the decision taken by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan led government, Isaac said: “It will be counterproductive in a state like Kerala where assembly unanimously has adopted a resolution against the NPR, and to have it along with the census.”

On the collection of data in the state, ISSAC told ANI: “Thepeople just wouldn’t cooperate. Can we force the people to give information? This is an issue on which Kerala is united”.
