“The famine occurred in the year 1857.”
The famine occured in the year 1857. During this period several people died of hunger. The potatoes rotted in the drills and other crops also failed.
The Government helped to alleviate the hunger pang of the people by alloting a certain amount of maize meal to each district. This was made into - porridge in certain places.
