figures of the Census 2011 are still to be published, Registrar General of
India and Census Commissioner has said.
The office
stated this while responding to a RTI query requesting it details about the
population of transgenders in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh.
The
department said it was unable to furnish fresh data about their population as
the Census was not published yet.
"The
data provided in the reply is based on the Census 2001 as the Census 2011 is
yet to be published," it said.
The mammoth
exercise of the 15th Census began on 1 April 2010. In April 2013, Home Minster
Shushil Kumar Shinde had released the statistics.
