The major determining factors of the study included greenery and plantations, clean roads, availability of dustbins in public places and efficiency of the garbage disposal system.
Still we have to run a long way to reach a title as 'Clean City' and it can be accomplished with a team work of the people and the Government
World No Tobacco Day May 31
* TOBACCO is the second major cause of deaths worldwide.
* Half of the people who smoke regularly today about 650 million will eventually die of tobacco-related diseases.
* The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that around 700 million children, or almost half of the world’s children, breathe air that is polluted by tobacco smoke, particularly in their homes.
* Equally alarming is the fact that hundreds of thousands of people who have never smoked die each year from diseases caused by breathing second-hand tobacco smoke.
* The International Labor Organization (ILO) says that at least 200,000 workers die every year due to exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke. There is no known safe level of human exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke, which causes cancer as well as serious respiratory and cardiovascular diseases in children and adults that lead to death.
Cigarette smoking is dangerous to your (and other people’s) health. Quit smoking and live longer.

World's First Air-Powered Car: Zero Emissions by Next Summer
This six-seater tax, which should be available in India next year, is powered entirely by an engine filled with compressed air.India’s largest automaker Tata Motors is set to start producing the world’s first commercial air-powered vehicle. The Air Car, developed by ex-Formula One engineer Guy Nègre for Luxembourg-based MDI, uses compressed air, as opposed to the gas-and-oxygen explosions of internal-combustion models, to push its engine’s pistons. Some 6000 zero-emissions Air Cars are scheduled to hit Indian streets in August of 2008.
