2019 Patna floods

There was heavy waterlogging in Patna in August-September 2019. More than 30 people lost their lives due to floods, heavy rains and water logging. The flash flooding in Patna was the result of Ganga River overflowing following heavy monsoon rains.[8] Patna city was filled with water for several days even after the rain stopped due to a sewer blockage. In many areas of Patna, 6 to 7 feet of water has accumulated on the roads.[9] This was the worst flood in Patna since 1975.[10]
