With the first phase of the Census scheduled to begin on September 1, training of enumerators has been halted amid protests, while civil society groups are demanding that an NRC be conducted before the Census.

The debate is linked to concerns over illegal immigration, demographic changes, displacement, future delimitation and political representation. Meanwhile, the Kuki-Zo Council has opposed the demand for postponement and called for an impartial Census.

Watch the full explainer to understand the controversy.
