LOL gandhiji called Trivandrum ans an evergreen city it is not in this site’s list.It’s the most greenest city in india.I have been to chandigarh it’s green too.I am pretty sure TVM is greener than rest of all cities mentioned here.
THE ten cleanest and Greenest cities list by and large is O.K,but with afew comments .There is a list of 25 cleanest cities which have Kanpur in UP as tenth cleanest in India.I think the survey team has never gone to This city.Most people of UP including myself rate it as the dirtiest city in U.P.Please get your records corrected.after verification from Urban development Authority in U.P
Apart from that In this list of 10 cities Bhubneshwar is at 7thplace,rigtly so.But Bhubneshwar does not find place in 25 cleanest cities list.
Thre are lot of contradictions in these categories.In my view Rourkela is definitely cleaner and greener than Bhubneshwar.I have lived in all these cities of ODISHA andU.P .IN UP lucknow is the cleanest and greenest city.Pl reconsider and modify these lists accordingly.Thanks

These are dirty places, except for certain areas that are kept clean for tourism. Don’t make up lies.
So true. I’m here now. Jaipur, New Delhi – Very Filthy
Bokaro steel city.
Dark horse
Delhi ko last me hona chahiye…, gutkhe khaane walo ne puri delhi ko sada diya hai. Har jagah pe gandgi ke dher lage hain.
Safai ke naam pe yaha pe sirf india gate, rajpath, jorbagh, lodhi road jaise hi ilaake hain bas jaha pe sabhi bare neta aur business tycoons rehte hain aur Ye NDMC ke under ane wale area hain. MCD jine under sabhi private colonies ati hain wo gandgi se bhari hai. MCD ME bas sab kaam chor hi bharti hain ya fir unpar kis ka danda (strictness) nahi hai
Jaha common people rehte hain woha ka haal bahut hi gandgi bhar hai.
City clean tabhi kehlayegi jab har ek jagah saaf hogi.
Chandigarh and Mussorie is the cleanest and greenest city and hill station of India.
Thanks.
Mussorie may be green,but certainly not clean,courtesy tourists from cities like Delhi and Chandigarh..
I’d say these people have not really visited these cities. How else can I explain their putting Surat ahead of Gandhinagar!Surat is a city with maddrning traffic,pollution and chaos. When you pass Surat railway station,you have to cover your nose due to stench. On otgerside they have left oit cities l8ke Rourkela which have more greenery and cleaner. Complete faux pas.
Visited New Delhi and now in Jaipur- I’ve seen people peeing in streets in both cites. Rode a “3 wheeler” in New Delhi- Could not wait to get back on tour bus. Electrical wires hanging above from all directions. Piles of Rubbish everywhere. Stench of urine and garbage is very nauseating. I couldn’t believe this is a tourist site. Heading to Agar Tomorrow- hoping it will be at least clean. I still had a great time learning the culture and visiting historical sites. Most of the people are friendly and courteous. Always be prepared to TIP. Bring enough money to TIP.
In my views many areas of Haryana come under greenest and cleanest
