NEW DELHI: Indore has once again done Madhya Pradesh proud by being adjudged as the cleanest city of India for the fourth time in a row in the Swachh Survekshan awards 2020 announced on Thursday. Gujarat's Surat is on second spot and Maharashtra's Navi Mumbai is on third.

However, there was little to cheer for Bihar in the fifth annual cleanliness survey with several of its cities at the bottom of the cleanliness list.

While Gaya is the dirtiest in the category of small cities, Patna earns the dubious distinction in the large cities category.

Here's a look at the 10 dirtiest cities in the country in two categories: cities with a population of less than 10 lakh and cities with a population of over 10 lakh.

Garbage-free cities, 2020

Dipak Dash, ‘5-star garbage-free’ tag for 6 cities, May 20, 2020: The Times of India

Ambikapur in Chhattisgarh, Rajkot and Surat in Gujarat, Mysuru in Karnataka, Indore in MP and Navi Mumbai have been ranked as top six garbagefree cities out of 1,435 municipalities which participated in first such national-level ranking exercise by the housing and urban affairs ministry.

Municipal areas from Maharashtra had the giant’s share in the rankings under four categories — one, three, five and seven star. Out of 141cities which qualified for ranking, 79 were from Maharashtra. No municipal area could qualify for the seven-star rating.

New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) found place in the 3-star category and Delhi Cantonment, Noida, Ghaziabad and Karnal got onestar ranking. Declaring the results, Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri said next year’s rankings will cover all 4,372 statutory urban areas.

The municipal areas have been ranked on the parameters of managing their solid waste which includes collection, segregation and processing. “We want our urban areas to get that seven-star ranking. But we are happy if more and more cities get the one-star and three-star ranking. That will show that a beginning has been made,” Puri said.

Union urban affairs secretary Durga Shankar Mishra said while 1,435 municipal areas had participated in the ranking, only 141 were ranked after carrying out assessments, including spot visits.

Overall, 65 cities have bagged three-star rating and 70 have got one-star among the total of 14 35 cities that applied. The areas which got three-star rankings included Tirupati, Vijayawada, Chandigarh, Bhilai Nagar, Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar .

The star rating protocol was launched by the ministry under Swachh Bharat Mission in 2018 to institutionalise a mechanism for cities to achieve garbage-free status.
