The state capital Patna is almost flooded.Areas adjoining river Ganga, Punpun,Son, Ghagra,Gandac etc are more affected.Most of rivers which flows around capital region of Patna are flowing above danger level.
Patna is densely populated with many areas having very narrow roads. Unplanned development of housing colonies in Patna has compounded the problem of flow of rain water.
The sewerage system in Patna is almost none functioning.Most of newly developed colonies have no serwerage system.
The absence of a functional sewerage system have increased the problem of flooding.
NDRF has launched search and rescue operations in many parts of Patna.Air Force have also employed aircraft and helicopters in search and rescue mission.
State government has announced many steps to ensure safety of citizens. However,the steps taken are inadequate . These steps are too late to stop the flood.
