Swachh Abhiyaan emphasised by Prime Minister is yielding results. It willbe completely successful when one no more sees mounds of waste lying by the wayside and a proper waste disposal management system is firmly in place.

At an event organised by the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry, India's President Draupadi Murmu distributed the awards to the winners.

The pan-India Swachh Sarvekshan (Survey) is conducted across the country's mega cities since 2016. Indore has maintained the first position ever since. It has, therefore, become the most preferred destination for travellers.

How has Indore achieved it?

Indore has its own waste management system and the volume of garbage in the city is disposed off through well established door-to-door garbage collection system. The door-to-door service was started in Jan '16 as a pilot project in 2 out of its 84 wards, which later spread across all wards. After a year, it succeeded in achieving 100% door-to-door garbage collection with the wider participation of the citizens in keeping the city clean.

Bijnor was ranked the first among Ganga towns with fewer than 1 lakh population, followed by Kannauj and Garhmukteshwar.

No 1 rank held by Tripura among stats having fewer than 100 urban local bodies.

No 1 rank held by Panchgani among cities with less than 1 lakh population.

Tailpiece.

Got up around a quarter past 6, the chores and was ready by 10.

It was a quiet Sunday.
