Pakistan's largest-ever census kicks off in 63 districts amid tight security
Pakistan’s largest-ever population census kicked off on Wednesday in 63 districts of the country after a delay of 19 years.
High security was in place as thousands of enumerators backed by the military began the enormous, politically-charged count.
The weeks-long process will deploy a team of more than 300,000 people and involve 55 million forms — as well as a second, separate form distributed by the military.
