At least 35 people have lost their lives in different rain-related incidents in Bihar since Friday. The state is being battered by heavy rainfall, causing mishaps and inundating villages and streets.

Bihar’s capital Patna continued to be among the worst affected, some of its parts submerged in water levels rising up to the chest and its residents being rescued with the help of municipal cranes normally used for moving the earth.

Heavy rain caused waterlogging at the Nalanda Medical College and Hospital (NMCH) in Patna where knee-deep water flooded its entrance and compound. NMCH is the second-largest hospital in Patna after PMCH. Water also entered inside the wards and ICU.

At least six persons have died in different incidents of house collapse in the Gaya district. Gaya has recorded more than 20% of the annual rainfall in the last three days. Gaya received about 250 mm since Friday.
