Theog Municipal Council ranks in India’s top 20 for Swachh Survekshan

The Municipal Council of Theog in Himachal Pradesh has been recognized as one of the top 20 Urban Local Bodies in India during the Swachh Survekshan rankings. The national recognition was conferred in the presence of President Droupadi Murmu.

Launched in 2016 by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Swachh Survekshan is an annual cleanliness assessment program that evaluates urban local bodies on sanitation, waste management, and public participation.

Officials attributed the achievement to coordinated efforts by the Urban Development Department and the Directorate of Urban Development, alongside leadership from Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and Urban Development Minister Vikramaditya Singh. The success was also credited to the active participation of residents and the work of frontline sanitation workers.
