Locust attack tracker: The locust menace also hit Andhra Pradesh. In Tamil Nadu too, swarms of a locust species attacked banana, rubber and other crops in some districts.

With India battling the worst desert locust outbreak in three decades, the insects have now damaged crops in five states — Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra — with the Centre issuing a warning to 12 states.

With locusts devastating crops in Uttar Pradesh’s Sonbhadhra, states that share border with the district — Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand — are also on high alert. Besides, Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj, which is located in eastern part of the state, is also preparing for a possible attack from the migratory pests after they wrecked havoc on farms in Jhansi.

Down in the south, farmers are keeping a vigil in Bidar, Karnataka, as the desert locusts are expected to arrive through western Maharashtra. Moreover, the locust menace also hit Andhra Pradesh on Thursday. In Tamil Nadu too, swarms of a locust species attacked banana, rubber and other crops in some districts.

These locusts started arriving in Rajasthan around the first fortnight of April, much ahead of the normal July-October normal. So far, the locusts have attacked predominately at Dausa in Rajasthan, Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh and Chattarpur district of Madhya Pradesh.
