A Report on the Bihar Earthquake and on the measures taken in consequence thereof up to the 31st December 1934

1935

The rivers thus divide Tirlint into four tracts ; the Saran district ; the area south-west of the Bur Gandak river ; the basin of the Bur Gandak and Bagmati systems ; and the country beyond these rivers to the north-east. [...] As the epicentral tract of the earthquake lay in the country north-east of the Bagmati the interruption of communications across the Bagmati and Bur Gandak basins was a central difficulty of the relief operations. [...] In and near the central regions of the earthquake one of the most spectcular results of the violent oscillation of the alluvial soil was the ejection ref sand and water. [...] The assistance of the staff of the Tobacco Factory was invaluable; the officers at the time were under orders of transfer but the company kindly agreed to postpone the date of their transfer at considerable :inconvenience to themselves in order to facilitate the work of clearance. [...] By the 20th the treasury was reopened and the Batik of Bihar was also reopened by the side of the road.
