In the overall ranking of the Clean Air Survey 2022 by the government of India across the country, Lucknow secured the No.1 position in the National Clean Air City Category. It achieved the best overall ranking across the country including cities with large populations.

Mayor Sanyukta Bhatia and municipal commissioner Indrajeet Singh received the award in Bhubaneshwar from the minister of state for environment and forests Ashwani Kumar Choubey and director general environment, Chandra Prakash Goyal, on Saturday.

Mayor Bhatia said, “Efforts were being made to improve the environment in Lucknow for the last five years. In order to improve the air quality, the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) had installed artificial lungs in front of its headquarters in Lalbagh so that the air quality could be checked. LMC purchased nine road-sweeping machines, eight anti-smoke guns, and 40 water-sprinkling machines from the 15th Finance Commission for air quality improvement.”
