Swachh Survekshan 2021 rankings give Delhi’s three civic bodies a poor report card on waste management and sanitation
Delhi’s three municipal corporations — North, South and East — continue to perform dismally in the Central Government’s annual cleanliness survey. This year too, two of the civic bodies found themselves in the last 10 of the rankings, while none of them scored a single point in the ‘garbage free city’ category.
According to the Swachh Survekshan 2021, under which the civic bodies were chosen in the category of cities with a population of more than 10 lakh, the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) has retained its previous ranking of 31 (out of 48). Last year, a total of 47 cities were scrutinised under the category.
