===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 flood]]ing in Patna was the result of Ganga River overflowing following heavy monsoon rains.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/worst-monsoon-in-25-years-kills-over-100-across-india-floods-rains-in-patna-10-points-1604967-2019-10-01|title=Worst monsoon in 25 years kills 148 across India, floods ravage Patna}}</ref> Patna city was filled with water for several days even after the rain stopped due to a sewer blockage.
