Navi Mumbai Named Cleanest City in Annual Government Survey
· India · The Hindu, Indian Express
Navi Mumbai has been ranked as the cleanest city in the central government's annual cleanliness survey, with Surat and Vijayawada securing the runner-up positions. Indore, which held the top spot for eight years, did not appear among the top-ranked cities this year. In the 3-10 lakh population category, Ujjain took the top spot, while Greater Visakhapatnam led the 10 lakh-plus population category. President Droupadi Murmu presented the awards at a ceremony in New Delhi, which also recognized Rewa as the cleanest riverfront town and Puri as the cleanest coastal town. Rudrapur was named the cleanest Himalayan city, with Jammu taking second place in that category.
Why it matters
The shift in rankings marks a significant change in India's urban cleanliness standards and highlights the competitive nature of the government's sanitation initiatives across different city categories.
