The current condition is that the locusts have been traveling and have covered about 5 states up until now namely Rajasthan, Punjab, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh.
The attacks are causing a serious chaotic situation and thus, the government has came into action announcing that they’d help out the states in overcoming the problems.
“89 fire brigades for pesticide spray; 120 survey vehicles; 47 control vehicles with spray equipment and 810 tractor-mounted sprayers have been deployed for effective locust control, as per requirement during different days,” the ministry said.
