Centre says CCI to address Sindh govt?s genuine concerns
 ISLAMABAD: While the federal government claims of receiving ** complaints from the Sindh government in writing about the ongoing population census ahead of the scheduled Council of Common Interests (CCI) meeting being held today (Tuesday), it expressed its willingness to resolve the genuine concerns of Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah if he raised the issues during the meeting. The CCI meeting is scheduled to be held today (Tuesday) with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in the chair. The Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) high-ups would give a progress report on the ongoing census exercise under which the first phase of census has been accomplished while the second phase is underway in 89 selected districts. “We will share the progress report on the census exercise,” said one top official after participating in an extensive meeting held on Monday with Finance Minister Ishaq Dar in the chair for preparation of the CCI meeting on the occasion of his visit to the PBS building. According to Finance Ministry’s an**uncement, Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar on Monday chaired a high-level meeting at the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics to review the progress of population and housing census with particular focus on its second phase. The chief statistician gave a detailed update on the progress of the ongoing census activities. He mentioned that the Sixth Population & Housing Census was started in phases with effect from 15th March, 2017. The Phase-I of the Census started comprising 188 census districts in 63 administrative districts. The field operation of Phase-I has been successfully completed in 80,471 Census Blocks. A total of 40,226 civilian enumerators were engaged in Phase-I. The filled-in Census documents have been received, he added. The meeting was informed that the census activities in the remaining 88 administrative districts in the second phase started on 25th April and would be completed on 24th May. About 43,912 civilian enumerators have been engaged in the second phase to carry out the census operation in 87,823 census blocks. The chief statistician also shared with the meeting the comments of the six international observer teams who expressed appreciation for the overall census process, especially lauding the census teams working in different parts of the country. Generally, the census process went on smoothly without any impediments and the exemplary cooperation by the general public was observed and the census teams were welcomed throughout the country. Dar lauded the efforts made by the PBS staff for successful conduct of Phase-I of the census operation and hoped that the second phase will be completed smoothly. He appreciated regular updates on the census activities and assured his full support for all the census work. He ack**wledged the overall cooperation, commitment and hard work rendered by the armed forces personnel, provincial authorities, law enforcement agencies and the PBS staff. He said it was highly encouraging to see all the officials and staff of the PBS fully engaged in census duties and coordinating with field teams on 1st of May, which was the day to ho**ur workers throughout the world. The good spirit and dedication demonstrated in the first phase should also be kept up in the second phase, said the finance minister. He added that it was PML-N which held the last census in 1998 and it had earned the ho**ur of holding it once again. He said the exercise would greatly help the government in better eco**mic planning for the country in future. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Centre says CCI to address Sindh govt?s genuine concerns || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
