Hyderabad: The four lakh government employees in Telangana, including police in civil dress, will visit each and every household in the state to take up an ‘Intensive Household Survey’ on August 19.
Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has declared a public holiday on August 19 to enable smooth conduct of the survey, which will gather the details of each and every family member in nearly 84 lakh households in the state. He has sanctioned Rs 2 crore to each district for the survey. Government staff will paste the Telangana official logo on each house after completion of the survey.
All government and private organisations have been asked to remain closed on August 19 and private organisations have been warned of severe action if they function on the day and force their employees to attend duties.
The decision was taken during a preparatory meet convened by the Telangana government on holding the survey at HICC on Friday.
