Top 3 dirtiest Asian cities

India on its way to become a superpower in the world. Its very shameful to us that 2 big cities from india are in top 3 dirtiest Asian cities. 1st one is Dhaka followed by Mumbai and Delhi. 

1) Dhaka: -Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh battles with the constant threat of water pollution. Point to be noted here is that surface water is often thick with disease and pollutants from the use of commercial pesticides. With an estimated 150 million people living in a relatively small area, cleaning up the problem is real tough.



2) Mumbai:- Thanks to Dharavi slum and other slum areas in Mumbai. Indian government has to work quite hard if they want to transform Mumbai back into a burgeoning metropolis. Being financial capital of India there is a Hugh burden on Mumbai to keep it clean and safe. 





 3) Delhi:- You'll find just about everything except marine life in New Delhi's Yamuna River. As a matter of fact, garbage and sewage flow freely, creating a rich environment for the growth of water-borne diseases contributing to extremely high rates of infant morbidity.
