Hi buddy
Explanation:
How the Epidemic Diseases Act of 1897 Came to Be
This Act empowered authorities to detain plague suspects, destroy or demolish infected property, prohibit fairs and pilgrimages and examine passengers at will.
The ongoing nationwide lockdown in the wake of the global pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus has suddenly brought forth an interesting colonial legislation into the limelight.
Starting from March 2020 many states in India have enforced the Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897 to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus in their respective areas.
This Act gives power to the government (both state and Centre) that if at any time the central or state government is satisfied that India or the state, or any part thereof is visited by, or threatened with, an outbreak of any dangerous epidemic disease, the central or state government, if it thinks that the ordinary provisions of the law for the time being in force are insufficient for the purpose, may take, or require or empower any person to take, such measures and, by public notice, prescribe such temporary regulations to be observed by the public or by any person or class of persons as it shall deem necessary to prevent the outbreak of such disease or the spread thereof, and may determine in what manner and by whom any expenses incurred (including compensation if any) shall be defrayed.
Answer:
Yes the colonial rulers did deal with such pandemics. Like plague, Spanish flu etc.
