Swarms of locusts destroy standing crops in Chishtian

F.P. Report

CHISHTIAN: Swarms of locusts on Monday invaded large swathes of adjoining areas of Chishtian, causing huge loss to the standing crops.

Different crops standing on hundreds of acre were destroyed by the swarms of grasshoppers in several villages.

The farmers have blamed the Agriculture Department for not taking concrete steps to save their crops from the attack of locusts.

The farmers are trying to save their crops on their own.

The crop eating insects bring hunger with them by thoroughly eating crops and all vegetation they find at any place.
