Former Union Minister Chinta Mohan objected to the State government’s decision to conduct the caste and individual census through village and ward volunteers, and instead insisted that government teachers should carry out the exercise.
In a statement, the former MP pointed out that the census has been conducted by government teachers across India since 1951. He emphasized that Andhra Pradesh is the only state where this responsibility has been given to volunteers, and appealed to the Chief Secretary and senior IAS officers to transfer the task to government teachers.
