Farmers should not panic because they are too few in number to pose any threat, say agriculture departments of both States

Chandigarh:
Presence of locusts in a few villages of Punjab and Haryana bordering Rajasthan has raised anxiety among farmers about their crops. The agriculture departments of both the States have asked the farmers not to panic as it was “not a serious threat”'.

Experts believe that appearance of locusts in winter months is a new phenomenon and may be linked to climate change. The surveillance by the scientists of Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) and officials of the State agriculture department has revealed the presence of locusts in small numbers or groups (of 5 to 20) in districts of Fazilka, Muktsar and Bathinda.
