Some clarifications from the Directorate of Census Operations, Kolkata

1. Shortage of HLO and NPR schedules immediately to be reported and requisition to be sent for onward transmission to the Office of the Registrar General of India, New Delhi.
   Otherwise the shortage of the Schedules will not be replenishable within reasonable time.
2. Acknowledgement Slip will have to be given to Enumerators @ 1 per Houselisting Block. So the shortage will have to be worked out and reported at the earliest.
3. In case of Census House bearing Mud Walls care should be taken to write the House number using the permanent marker pen supplied, preferably in wooden frames, bamboo poles in such a manner that the impression remains till the completion of the Census operation.
4. It seems confusion is prevailing in the minds of the Charge Officers regarding duplication of filled up schedules. It is clarified that only HLO Schedules will have to be filled in duplicate by the Enumerators. For the NPR Schedules only a single schedule with requisite continuation sheet will have to be filled in case of one Household.
5. Several items are being sent directly by the ORGI, New Delhi, by Post. In this regard continuous liaison will have to be maintained with the Sr. Superintendent of Post, Bankura, and for this Mr. A. Mukherjee, Pr. Superintendent of Post at Phone No. 03242 – 253273 may kindly be contacted.
