States stumped as demography panel seeks religion-wise data on vehicles, schools, voters
A demography panel has requested religion‑specific data for the past 15 years on birth registrations, vehicle registrations, school enrolments, property transactions, and district‑level details of religious structures, as well as spikes in Aadhaar, voter ID and ration card registrations. Officials say such data are not maintained on religious lines. The request aims to analyze demographic trends but faces legal and privacy concerns.
