Mysuru, May 19: Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Tuesday announced the results of garbage free-star rating for Indian cities.
He said that Ambikapur in Chhattisgarh, Rajkot in Gujarat, Mysuru in Karnataka, Indore in Madhya Pradesh and Navi Mumbai in Maharashtra have got a five-star rating.
Puri extended the wishes to the cities who got a five-star rating and said it came at a time when the entire world, including India, are reeling under the impact of COVID-19 pandemic.
"It was the intention of my senior colleagues and others to declare the result of star rating of garbage-free cities much earlier but we decided to postpone because we wanted at least some degree of opening to take place and we thought the timing is correct," Puri said.
The minister said that of all the flagship programmes Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced, Swachta Mission is the most important programme for him.
"I have often shared with you my assessment that of all the flagship programmes that the Prime Minister had announced after the 2014 election results. But my personal view, a view I have had a citizen and certainly a view that is fortified by my experience as Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs, that the Swachta Mission by far is the most important programme of all the missions," Puri said
The vehicle, worth Rs. 35 lakh, was flagged off by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu earlier on Monday.

In some point of view he did good work.. but our so called nationalist people will forget it soon and start blaming Muslims same way they use to do now! So he should have donated it or that money to poor people atleast they will pray for him.. May Allah give him Hidaya to help more those who are needy!
good people always do good work.
he may be out of the mind, simply wasted money instead he would have fed lots of poor children.
will donate gold chadar soon to mosque.
Real India soul, bend the knee and big solute to him.
