The City Beautiful Chandigarh has secured eighth rank in the Swachh Vayu Survekshan-2025, superseding 19 spots from 27th in 2024. The survey, conducted annually by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) under the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP), assesses cities on their sustained efforts and progress towards improving air quality.
“Chandigarh’s upward movement by 19 positions is a testament to its sustainable urban development initiatives, proactive air quality management strategies, and active citizen participation,” said Saurabh Kumar, Director Environment-cum-Member Secretary, Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee (CPCC).
The authorities have attributed the rise to extensive collective efforts of the Municipal Corporation, Traffic Police, Transport Departments and the CPCC.
