Here is a list of 10 cleanest cities of India, I am proud to live in between four of the cleanest cities of these Dehradun and Chandigarh, Delhi and Shimala. What about you guys?

Yes. The title of the thread is appropriate. Because in the world ranking there is no city from India which is cleanest and Greenest.
Coming to the Subject, I lived in Tiruchirapally or Trichy for a month in connection with a training related to my department. And Trichy deserves the honor.
And none of the cities I lived mentioned in the list.
I guess there are different lists for cleanest cities of India...All the cities mentioned in the list definitely deserve a mention...However, Mangalore too is one of the cleanest cities in fact much cleaner than Mysore , this is the opinion of almost all those who visit us ...Also it is found among the cleanest cities in another list made by yahoo...

Yes I saw that in a TV channel news today. As I have said earlier I have visited Mangalore several times and can personally vouch for that . Mangalore and many cities of Karnataka, Kerala and TN fully deserve to be in that list. I always found South India far more cleaner than rest of the states of India. I think the number of people and civic sense has a vital role to play.in such matters.

Chandigarh tops all lists and is considered to be the greenest and a model city in India, would love to visit it and also Amritsar which too is a very attractive place from what I have seen in pictures and videos..

Definitely Civic sense and a will to keep the city clean will make a big difference.

As far living is concerned I have lived in all cities mentioned in both lists but I am living in the middle of 4 cities mentioned in my first post.
@Usha- I suggest you visit Dehradun as it is not too far off from Chandigarh and Delhi. While in dehradun you can visit queen of Hills Mussori (35 km) and while in Chandigarh you can visit Shimla by toy train or a taxi.

That train still runs in between Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling. I have traveled many times by that train and it's so amazing to travel @ 8km/hour. It takes 8-9 hours and you can get off the train at any bend and reboard when it comes traveling the hilly distance. That is perhaps the smallest train anywhere in the world.

Yes I agree. In the same tour some of my friends who were with me used to get down from the train and run along with the train and catch it again . A funny but really memorable experience.

In fact there is no need of running but by the time train comes traveling round the bend you can walk to the rail track well before train reaches there.

Of course. But all of our members are First Timers to the toy train. That's why out of anxiety they ran along with the train. After catching up with the train there was a glint in their eyes. They treated this as an achievement. We all had a hearty laugh.

Sure, the entire rout is full of spiral railway lines and full of bends which is a joy in itself to travel to darjeeling- here is a view that will give an idea to the ones who have not yet traveled by a toy train to darjiling
Without sounding a kill joy I would like to submit that no Indian city is clean in all its areas. A particular well maintained patch of the cities do not make the whole city. By and large all Indian cities are dirty with refuse thrown all around. I too have noted that relatively South is more cleaner than North. I have noted that old areas of Mumbai are very green with many trees which give it a green look.

You are absolutely right but I can tell you there are cities like Chandigarh, Dehradun and Shimla in that list which are almost clean and their greenery is beyond question. As far south is concerned as much I have visited them I have found them satisfactory. Delhi is clean at places but it has areas where lot has to be done.

You are right. South is satisfactory as far as cleanliness and Greenery are concerned. But not the best. Like Delhi as you said, Southern cities especially Vizag in AP and Bangalore which was known as "Garden City" in Karnataka are clean in some spots. But not the BEST.
