Jabalpur’s journey towards urban cleanliness has taken a giant leap and the city has much to celebrate. In the highly-anticipated Swachh Survekshan Abhiyan 2023, Jabalpur has secured a phenomenal 13th position across the country, a remarkable climb from its previous ranking. The Mayor and Municipal Commissioner have credited the citizens of Jabalpur for this remarkable achievement, expressing gratitude and acknowledging their contribution. They said with due cooperation of the citizens, further improvements and better rankings can be achieved in the Swachh Survekshan Abhiyan.
