However, with merely a week left to conclude the survey, reports claiming that a significant number of people are not yet covered under the enumeration drive are emerging from different areas of Rangareddy district.

“I found a sticker stuck to my house door over a week ago but no one from the local GHMC showed-up thereafter for enumeration. Many of the households in the surrounding too were found deliberately ignored by the enumeration team during the survey a reason better known to officials concerned,” rued M Asif, a software engineer from Shastripuram Colony under Rajendranagar.

In most of the cases it is found that the enumeration was completed with one or two questions. However, the enumeration teams allegedly found many of the people deliberately avoiding a straight dupe regarding their social and economic status. “Despite having an owner of a number of assets, accessories and automobiles, it is found that most of the people decline to accept having the same during the survey,” said an enumerator on the condition of anonymity.
