Swarms of locusts have invaded vast swathes of land in India since April 11th this year. They entered several districts of Rajasthan via Pakistan’s Sindh province. The U.N.

The agriculture department plans to initiate a campaign to make people and farmers of the affected cities aware of the new threat.
