  • Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), in its latest report, gave Mumbai the dubious distinction of being the noisiest city in India.

    Lucknow and Hyderabad were placed 2nd and 3rd on the list.

    National capital Delhi was 4th, mostly because of its roadside plantations and relatively higher green cover.

    The report showed that the maximum noise came from vehicles, airplanes and industrial and construction activities.
