Ward-Level Wins Highlight Grassroots Air‑Clean Efforts in Uttar Pradesh

The clean‑air push has filtered down to the neighbourhood level, earning several wards national accolades. Lucknow’s Ward‑70 in Zone‑4 topped the category for urban wards with populations over 30,000. Prayagraj’s Ward‑31 secured third place among wards with 10,000‑30,000 residents.

Additional recognitions went to Kanpur’s KNP078 ward, Prayagraj’s Ward‑33 and Bareilly’s Gandhi Udyan Ward‑32 for exemplary dust‑suppression and anti‑open‑dumping measures. These awards underline how localized actions—such as strict enforcement of waste‑burn bans and targeted street‑sweeping—contribute to broader air‑quality gains.
