From September 28 to October 1, Patna received about 400 mm of rainfall. With all 39 sump houses remaining non-functional till October 1, at least 60 per cent of Patna faced water-logging.

* “Any modern city requires four basic infrastructure systems in place to function efficiently — drinking water supply system, storm water drainage system, sewage system and sewerage network system, and solid waste management system. Patna Municipal Corporation has failed on all four parameters.”

* “The city has silently seen simultaneous growth of unregulated construction and uncontrolled slums within and outside the city. In fact, the lack of proper planning has made the modern city of Patna a difficult place to live in.”

* “The corporation in recent times has been in complete defunct status both functionally and institutionally and there has not been a serious attempt to revamp the situation. There is no work culture among the staff because of a poor HR system…”

And admitted in the Patna High Court in a counter-affidavit that it “squarely failed”.
