Apart from the loss of life, narrations tell that after the occurrence of the Torbat earthquake, the survivors lived in very horrific and pitiable living conditions; considering the widespread poverty and misery of the general population of Iran, the severe shortage of sanitary facilities, and the lack of proper communication infrastructures in most parts of the country, including the eastern regions of Iran during that period, it was not unexpected that the living situation of the earthquake-stricken people would be very unfavorable and tragic, as according to one of the reports: "The state of the city, its inhabitants, the condition of the villages and surroundings, and the casualties are so pitiable that they have no limit!» (Ibid).
Accordingly, shortly after the earthquake occurred, a seemingly telegram signed by some residents of Torbat was sent to the capital, in which it was claimed that the head of the indirect tax office of the said city had not even in these tragic and critical conditions refrained from injustice and tax excessiveness, causing further aggravation of the living conditions of the wretched people (Documents of the Institute for Contemporary Historical Studies, Guide No. 7-1873-11M) These individuals, who had introduced themselves as among the oppressed, victimized, and afflicted by the earthquake, helplessly requested the government authorities to dismiss the person in question (Nosrat al-Mamalek) from his position.
