Overview

• Day one logged about 2,765 households and 10,642 people statewide as OTP failures, app crashes and slow responses hampered enumerators.
• Technical issues persisted on day two in several districts, though Mysuru reported a pickup with hundreds of households covered by evening.
• Teachers protested in Belagavi over being assigned despite health and fitness concerns, and some districts reported late kit distribution.
• The High Court bench of Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice C. M. Joshi questioned how the exercise differs from a caste census and adjourned the case to September 24.
• Petitioners cited privacy risks from geo‑tagging and linking IDs, while the state said participation is voluntary and the commission noted disputed caste labels were masked in the app.
