Unlike previous surveys, this year’s exercise allocated substantial weightage to the feedback from citizens based on their daily experience. Indore was the cleanest city last year as well but that survey was conducted only for around 430 cities. This time it was conducted for around 4,200 cities. 19 out of the 25 dirtiest cities in India are from West Bengal, a state that was ruled by first communists for more than 30 years and now is being ruled by TMC. The cities, which include Darjeeling, Siliguri, Serampore, Madhyamgram, North Barrackpore, Bankura, fared abysmally on all sanitation indicators such as waste collection, open defecation, solid waste processing and disposal, the survey found. Three cities each from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are also among the dirtiest, figuring in the bottom of the list. Source: HT
