Bengal: Sea swallows Fort Fraser and a slice of history
Cyclone Yaas hasn’t just ravaged the ecologically fragile Sunderbans and wrecked the lives and livelihood of lakhs of people, it has also washed away a slice of Bengal’s history. At Fraserganj — named after Sir Andrew Fraser, lieutenant-governor of Bengal in the early 20th century — it has completely destroyed the more-than-a-century old Fort Fraser, a top draw among tourists visiting weekend beach destinations Bakkhali and Fraserganj.
