Water has inundated the Patna-Mokama NH and the Patna-Gaya railway line, disrupting traffic. The area of South Patna, including Diyara, is submerged. Schools and hospitals in affected areas are closed. Power supply has been disrupted in many areas. On Saturday morning, water was released from the Indrapuri barrage into the Son River.
