Old buildings in Patna town, which are on the verge of collapse, are posing threat to the public during monsoon.
The Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC) in 2011, had identified 71 buildings as unsafe for living, said sources.
The authorities had served notices on the dwellers, but they continue to live there as they have to pay paltry rent. Due to lack of alternative arrangements, occupants continue to live in those buildings, in spite of notices from PMC.
A PMC official said their duty is to send notice and not to force residents to leave from private buildings.
