Guntur has won the ‘Super Swachh League’ award after finishing third among cities with a population of three lakh to 10 lakh under the Swachh Survekshan 2025-26 rankings. Guntur Municipal Corporation Commissioner K. Mayur Ashok received the award from President Droupadi Murmu at a ceremony held at Vigyan Bhavan in New Delhi on Wednesday, along with Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister P.
Narayana, Principal Secretary S. Suresh Kumar and APTIDCO Managing Director B. Sunil Kumar Reddy. Andhra Pradesh has secured six national awards, emerging as the second-best performing State in the country. Mr. Ashok attributed the achievement to the collective efforts of municipal officials, sanitation workers and public participation.
He said several initiatives had been implemented to improve sanitation and scientific waste management in the city. A waste-to-energy plant is operational, while a Letter of Award has been issued for establishing a new Bio-CBG plant to generate green energy from waste.
The civic body has also introduced electric autos, compactors and modern sweeping machines to strengthen garbage collection, he said. Scientific removal of legacy waste, the ‘Swarnandhra-Swachh Andhra’ programme and the 30-day ‘Operation Clean Sweep’ drive contributed to improving urban cleanliness, he said.
The Municipal Commissioner pledged to continue efforts to transform Guntur into a cleaner and better-maintained city.
