Patna's Ward 9 has achieved a significant milestone by reaching the final field verification stage of the Clean Air Survey 2026. This recognition places the ward among 27 shortlisted nationwide, competing for a top-three position within its population category.
Ward nine, under the New Capital circle of the Patna Municipal Corporation, has implemented a broad spectrum of environmental initiatives. These include robust waste collection and segregation systems, effective plastic waste management, and measures to control road dust through pothole-free paving and mechanical sweeping. Greening efforts and public awareness campaigns involving educational institutions were also key components.
A three-member expert team from the Union ministry of environment, forest and climate change will now assess Ward 9's performance. The evaluation criteria cover solid waste management, construction and demolition waste handling, green area maintenance, air pollution control, and community engagement. The civic body has also appealed to residents to adopt sustainable practices like avoiding waste burning and reducing vehicle emissions.
