B .  Mumbai
C .  Chandigarh
D .  Delhi
Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)
In order to keep its ranking and reputation as the greenest and cleanest city in India, the administration of Chandigarh is considering a green code for the city. The administration is holding talks with The Energy and Resources Institute to work on the implementation of the code.
If the code is implemented, buildings in the city will have to be environment-friendly including the use of natural construction material and lower energy consumption. Chandigarh is also on the way to become the country’s first solar city in 2016.
However, in September 2012, Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar announced that the state will soon be housing India’s first solar city. The state is aiming to add 200mw of solar energy by 2016.
