Patna Municipal Corporation Activates Emergency Measures Amid Rising Ganga Levels

The Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC) has switched to full alert mode as the Ganga's water level climbs. Continuous monitoring of riverfront neighborhoods is underway, and preventive actions are being taken to curb seepage, waterlogging and potential breaches. All sluice gates have been closed, and critical drains have been blocked to stop river water from entering the city. Pump sets are on standby, and field teams are feeding real-time data to the control room.
