Correct Answer : Kolkata
According to the newly released National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) report for the year, Kolkata emerged as the safest city in 2021, making it the second year in a row. This is due to the low number of cognisable offences reported per lakh of its population.
Depending on how you look at it, the capital of Bengal had placed first or last on an impressive list the year before. Kolkata has maintained its position three times in the last four years, in 2018, 2020, and 2021, according to the release of this year's statistics.
2019 was an exception, according to NCRB, who claimed not to have received the state's statistics.
Kolkata's most recent statistics, which measure the number of cognisable offences reported per 1 lakh people, are
103.4, which is higher than previous year's score of 129.5. With a score of 256.8, Pune is ranked second on this list, behind Hyderabad (259.9), Kanpur (336.5), Bengaluru (427.2), and Mumbai (428.4)..
