Desert locusts affect districts in Madhya Pradesh

Several districts in western Madhya Pradesh came under the attack by Desert locusts. Millions of locusts were seen on trees and in Rana Heda village near Panbihar in Ujjain district early on Wednesday morning, May 20.

The situation reminds the scenes of pre-independence Rajasthan. “A team from the department sprayed pesticides through fire tenders for three hours to cover a 12 square km area,” said the deputy director of Agriculture department Neelam Singh. The swarm invasion affected farmers of Ujjain, Mandsaur, Neemuch, Agar-Malwa and other districts of Madhya Pradesh.

The department personnel said that the swarms made an entry via Rajasthan. 9 locust groups have gotten lively in the desert said the Department of Agriculture.
