Corroboration: 3 independent outlets

Second-phase training for Census 2027 enumerators and supervisors began across three states on Monday, 9 November. In Nagaland, the ADC and Sub-Divisional Census Officer for Chiephobozou opened a nine-day session, stressing complete coverage, accuracy, and confidentiality under the Census Act. In Kohima, SDO Seyiekhrietuo Solo told trainees that self-enumeration awareness must be improved after low previous participation, and advised maintaining manual records alongside digital entries. In Andhra Pradesh, Kurnool Collector Dr A Siri warned officials on 9 November that negligence or data errors could force a repetition of the entire exercise. She directed daily progress reports and extensive public awareness campaigns. The Population Enumeration phase is expected to start around 25 January 2027 and last 30 to 35 days, as per Kohima officials.
