New Delhi, April 30 -- The self-enumeration exercise under Census 2027 will kick off on Friday, with officials planning to begin the drive with lieutenant governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu, chief minister Rekha Gupta and newly appointed mayor Pravesh Wahi, officials said.

The self-enumeration phase is a 15-day window - from May 1 to May 15 - preceding the start of the house-listing operation (HLO), when the first deployment of census officials will take place.

"We will hold self-enumeration camps across all municipal wards. In the initial days, the focus will be on getting dignitaries self-enumerated. On Friday, we plan to begin the exercise with LG Taranjit Singh Sandhu, CM Rekha Gupta and mayor Pravesh Wahi," an official said.
