Bombay plague epidemic
Bubonic plague epidemic in India from 1896
The Bombay plague epidemic was a bubonic plague epidemic that struck the city of Bombay in British India in the late nineteenth century. The plague killed thousands, and many fled the city, leading to a drastic fall in the population of the city. In September 1896, Bombay's municipal administration declared the presence of bubonic plague in the city. The administration of ineffective protocols furthered the spread.
