In a cleanliness survey -- Swachh Survekshan 2021 -- conducted by the Central government, Navi Mumbai has perceived as India's fourth cleanest city.

However, this comes a setback to the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) as the rank has slipped one step down in a year. Last year, the Navi Mumbai was ranked as third cleanest city.

Now, the civic administration had decided to achieve first rank this year. Meanwhile, it is pertinent to note that Mumbai has not managed to take a place in the list of top 10 cleanest cities.

Later, the NMMC Commissioner Abhijit Bangar also held a meeting to take stock of various cleanliness programmes being implemented across the city. During the meeting, he directed officials to work more vigorously on the upcoming cleanliness survey. He also directed officials to go on the ground and interact with people as citizen’s participation is important to achieve this feat. Survey is a test, but cleanliness should be a habit, he added.

Cleanliness is not possible without public participation. Therefore, effective awareness should be created to make every citizen aware of the importance of cleanliness and put it into practice, added Bangar.

While stressing slums for cleanliness, the civic chief also asked officials to ensure that housing societies must process waste within the society premises and ensure that less amount of waste ends at the dumping ground.

It had shared a resolution titled 'Decided-Number One' on October 2 and kicked off the preparation of Swachh Survekshan 2021 by unveiling 'Mahatma Gandhi Chasma and Charkha' made of scrap, conveying the message of 'Reduce, Reuse and Recycle' to make the city clean and green.

1. Indore

2. Surat

3. Vijayawada

4. Navi Mumbai

5. Pune

6. Raipur

7. Bhopal

8. Vadodara
