Islamabad, The Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) has announced the completion of all outstanding payments for Phase-2 of the 7th Population and Housing Census, acknowledging the support of various provincial governments and education departments.
According to Press Information Department, PBS has now successfully cleared 56% of the payments with the remaining 44% recently released following the receipt of vouched accounts from the Deputy Commissioners (DCs).
