Desert locust swarm coming from Pakistan with winged little devils (Desert locust swarm) are moving from Jaipur towards Delhi. A swarm of millions of locusts broke into Pink City Jaipur on Monday morning. If the wind speed suited them, they would not be late in reaching Delhi. The national capital has been put on alert as locust teams are currently active in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. These states are most affected by this trouble.

 

Locusts are usually seen from June to November, this time only in April.

Desert locusts generally occur in western Rajasthan and Gujarat from June to November. But this time they started appearing only in April. Then the Locust Warning Organization (LWO) of the Union Ministry of Agriculture told about their presence. The only thing that is increasing the concern is that these locusts either live alone or live in small groups. This means that it is unusual for them to be in such a large herd.

 

22 percent of Delhi's green cover may cause trouble

Entomologists say that even though Delhi is an urban area, locusts can have a serious and widespread impact here as 22 percent of the national capital is in the green cover. These green covers will serve as a dose for locusts. LWO deputies director KL Gurjar had said on Monday, "If the wind speed and direction remains favorable, locust teams will reach Delhi in the next few days. Right now the wind is driving them towards the north.

 

A small team can eat 35000 people in a day.

According to Yamuna Biodiversity Park entomologist Mohammad Faisal, 'Green areas (green areas) of Delhi can be severely affected. A small locust of locusts spread over a square kilometer can also lick greenery equivalent to eating about 35 thousand people in a day.

 

Water supply and railway lines have also been affected due to locusts

Faisal further said that water supply and railway lines have also been affected due to these locusts in the past. After their attack, the railway tracks had to be lubricated and slippery, after which they had to be cleaned. He told that a single locust lays up to 500 eggs, so we have to stop not only locust groups but also their breeding.
