INDIA BATTLES LOCUST AMID CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC || LOCUST ATTACK IN INDIA || TIDDI ATTACK

Huge swarms of desert locusts are destroying crops across western and central India, prompting authorities to step up their response to the country's worst plague in nearly three decades. Drones, tractors and cars have been sent out to track the voracious pests and spray them with pesticides. The locusts have already destroyed nearly 50,000 hectares (125,000 acres) of cropland. "Eight to 10 swarms, each measuring around a square kilometre (0.39sq miles) are active in parts of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh [states]," the government's Locust Warning Organisation's deputy director KL Gurjar told the AFP news agency. India has not seen locust swarms on this scale since 1993, the warning centre said.
