Srinagar/IBNS: In a statement, Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) spokesperson said Lal Chowk ward scored 274 marks out of 300, whereas Ward 22 Karan Nagar has secured the second position scoring 273 out of  300 marks.

The first position was credited towards ward two Lal Chawk, a city square named by left-wing activists inspired by the Russian Revolution.

The Project Management Unit ( PMU)- an evaluation and monitoring unit to assess components of SWACHH Bharat Mission has set three parameters for cleanliness ranking- sweeping, garbage lifting and Garbage Vulnerable Points (GVP'S). 

Under the sweeping component, sweeping of main roads, lanes, bylanes are being assessed in a weekly survey.

“Similarly under Garbage lifting Component, garbage removal from various dumping points are being monitored and in GVP an assessor checks whether the  GVP,s are present in the ward or not.

“The more Garbage Vulnerable Points (where people/locals throw and accumulate garbage)the lesser points will be given if it remains unattended,” the statement read.
