New Delhi: Elated over Delhi securing 62nd position in the list of the world’s best 100 cities for 2021, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal congratulated the residents of the national capital.
The ranking was done by Resonance Consultancy Ltd. Delhi was the only Indian city which featured in the list of world’s best cities.
Delhi has improved its ranking by jumping to 62nd place from 81th last year.
“Such a good news for all Dilliwalas. All dilli walas have worked so hard in the last six years to make it happen. The world is noticing the positive changes happening in Delhi (sic),” Kejriwal tweeted.
The CM also tagged the deputy CM Manish Sisodia’s post in his tweet.
Sisodia tweeted, “Congratulations to all the proud people of Delhi and @ArvindKejriwal for the leadership. Our beloved Delhi is ranked 62 in World’s Best cities. The only Indian city in the list. There is significant improvement from the past ranking i.e. 81.”
London featured at the top of the list for the sixth time in a row. Resonance Consultancy said it ranked the world’s best 100 cities with populations of more than a million, using a combination of statistical performance and qualitative evaluations by locals and visitors in 25 areas grouped into six core categories.
“Indeed, Delhi is a city built upon or near the ruins of a previous city, and today visitors can trace through the eras, exploring centuries-old forts, tombs, shrines and mosques. Old Delhi is where to soak it all in while weaving in and out of the chaos, shopping for trinkets and handicrafts in the frenetic street bazaars and gaping in wonder at the Red Fort,” it said.
