Hamayun Iqbal Shami (Chairman Pakistan Economic Forum): Pakistan has a vast territory with a gradually increasing population rate. These factors have made census an imperative for the smooth functioning of the governmental proceedings. The human resources and the population of the country have remained undocumented for long. The lack of availability of accurate data halts the optimal allocation of the resources which leads to food insecurity and uneven development. The incumbent government is determined to curb the issue of allocation of resources by every means. The efficacious allocation of resources will not only ensure human security but will also make the environment conducive for business. The general public should adhere to the SOPs as the pandemic is not over yet, otherwise the industrial sector will again have to face supply chain distortions.
