Waliullah Sameer noted that nearly 14 socially and economically disadvantaged groups among Muslims are classified as BC-E in Telangana. He urged Muslims, who comprise around 70% of the Old City’s population, to identify themselves as BC-E during the census. He listed key groups under BC-E, including Shaik, Siddi, Labbi, Turka Kasha, Pakeerla, Dhobi Muslim, Gosangi Muslim, Nai Muslim, Darvesh, and Fakeer. He also advised Syed, Pathan, Shia, and other groups not currently within BC-E to ensure accurate self-identification, as this data will assist the government in planning targeted welfare initiatives.
