Both Sindh and Balochistan had objections to the 2017 census,\u201d he added. \u201cSince the 2017 census was controversial, the census was conducted again in 2023 after five years.  Due to the bad law and order situation in the past, no proper census could be conducted in some areas,\u201d he stated. \u201cThe increase in the population of Balochistan is seen because a census has not been conducted in the province for a long time,\u201d he maintained. \u201cWe are grateful to the federal government and the Bureau of Statistics for providing adequate time for the census in the province,\u201d he said.
