NEW DELHI: Good news for residents of Delhi as it has not been ranked as the most polluted city in India. A Greenpeace India report released on Tuesday has put coal-belching Jharia in Jharkhand as the most polluted city in India. Lunglei in Mizoram is the least polluted followed by Meghalaya’s Dawki, according to the report.
Though Delhi’s pollution level has improved but it is mostly about air pollution. Delhi is ranked as the 10th most polluted city in India.
The second-most polluted city in India is Jharkhand’s Dhanbad according to the report based on analysis of PM10 data from 287 cities across the country.
Six of the top-10 polluted cities are in Uttar Pradesh — Noida, Ghaziabad, Bareilly, Allahabad, Moradabad and Firozabad.
