In last years’ Swachh Survekshan Survey cities of Madhya Pradesh like Bhopal, Indore and Gwalior were ranked as cities that have potential to lead the pack. And, look today Indore has won a crown of India’s Cleanest City. Delighted by the state’s performance, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan congratulated the people of the state.
Extremely delighted that Indore has won The Cleanest City award in #SwachhSurvekshan2017. Thank people & municipality efforts. #MyCleanIndia

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s constituency, Varanasi, was the lone exception in an otherwise disappointing performance by Uttar Pradesh. It was at 418 in the previous survey and moved up to Rank 32 this year.
