Bhopal is ranked second, followed by Surat on third and Ahmedabad on the fourth rung in the list. Two more cities from Uttar Pradesh are in the top 10 of the list, with Agra on seventh and Kanpur on eighth.
Varanasi municipal commissioner Gaurang Rathi told TOI on Saturday, “The city has won the distinction of getting top rank for performing well in the execution of development projects. The ranking has been done on the basis of completed projects and progress of ongoing projects.”
