The greenery in cities are gradually vanishing from the Indian cities as more and more trees are being cut down in the name of metros, roads and other buildings. Fighting the human greed that kills the nature, we have a few cities in the country that preserves its greenery to a great extent. Check out the greenest cities in India:

1) Chandigarh
