This morning, there were reports of locusts damaging farms in Rajasthan's Hasteda village. A farmer here informed that this has been the fourth attack by locusts in recent times. The state is among the worst ones to be affected by the locust infestation. Other states that have been affected by these invasive swarms are Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Maharashtra. People in these places resorted to several unique ways to scare away the locusts like banging utensils to beating drums. Locusts are said to visit regions where there are farm areas and not much in the cities. But the swarms are now seen in Gurugram this morning. Locals were quick to share pictures and videos giving warnings to others about the invasion of these desert locusts.
