Summary:The official death toll from pneumonic plague rose to 34 on September 23. Frightened residents continued to pour out of the Surat area and doctors complained the government had failed to prevent the spread of disease. But local newspapers and residents said people had been stricken outside the two main affected neighbour- hoods in Surat and elsewhere in the state, and estimated at least 100 had died.
