The 2020 population figure for this village looks unreliable, so no change
is shown. Census 2011 recorded 11,119 people; Mission Antyodaya
2020 recorded 28,209 — more than 2.5 times higher, which no village grows in nine years. One of the two is wrong and we cannot
tell which.

spans several panchayats only this one's return appears.
