Speaking on the occasion, MLA Kangan said, “Census is the foundation of all planning and welfare schemes. I appeal to all residents of Kangan to come forward and complete their Self-Enumeration. This will ensure that J&K’s data is accurate and our developmental needs are projected correctly at the national level.”
Tehsildar Kangan, informed that Tehsil Kangan was praised at All India level for its time bound and error free completion of Census 2025 Pre-Test in November 2025. “We are committed to making Census 2027 a people’s movement.
