Patna Flood: Relief Work Underway

In the water logged residential localities in Patna, relief and rescue operations were speeded up on Tuesday with two helicopters engaged in dropping food, water and other essential items. The boats carrying essential items were also reaching the stranded people.

The Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC) and Urban Development Department have pressed in high tech machines to pump out water from the water logged localities. However, PMC was facing difficulty to pump out water as many drains were choked and some permanently clogged due to silt.

"All pump stations are running at their optimum capacity to dewater the affected areas in view of the on going Durga Puja festival. The situation is likely to be normal within next 24 hours," Chaitanya Prasad, Principal secretary of the Urban Development drpartment said.

Heavy rains in Bihar have claimed 40 lives and thousands have been affected.

Much to the relief of people, there has been no rain in the last over 24 hours.
