About The Book: "The Earthquake in Bengal and Assam" describes the 1897 earthquake in Northern India, affecting Manipur, Assam, Bengal, and Bombay, causing widespread devastation and panic. Calcutta and nearby areas like Barrackpur suffered damage, with infrastructure and trains overturned. Mud volcanoes exacerbated the chaos, while minimal loss of life occurred. Aftershocks persisted, with severe damage to Sahebganj's railway buildings. The event prompted discussions on disaster preparedness and building safety. Despite challenges, communities displayed resilience. In Shillong, recovery efforts faced obstacles from ongoing seismic activity, notably a recent severe shock, and tragic incidents like Mrs. Hammond's carriage accident highlighted the community's vulnerability.
